Abstract

The article analyzes Ehrlich's innovative approach to understanding law. Today we can state with sufficient grounds that E. Ehrlich thought of law as a socio-cultural, spiritual in nature, created by the joint efforts of society. E. Ehrlich was one of those thinkers who in the era of the dominance of legal-positivist methodology defended the principle of pluralism in views on the origins of law, truth in law, the methodology of its study. According to Ehrlich, law appears as a living, complex, multifaceted phenomenon that is closely connected with life circumstances, determined by them, accumulates a rich world of human culture.
