The author makes an attempt to comprehend the essence of law from the standpoint of the phenomenological philosophical tradition. It is noted that today there are several philosophical positions for the study of the essence, however the choice in favor of phenomenology is realized due to its possibilities to study the essential world and to obtain knowledge of the universal. The author did make references to the sources, i.e. Husserlian phenomenology, in which a contradiction is determined. It is determined that the study of the essence of law through phenomenology does not allow reducing it to either the physical or the psychological grounds of reality. The law itself is completely non-objective. The author has also established that through the phenomenological study of law, it is possible to find the basis for the formation of both a system of actors’ actions and a system of legal reality.

Keywords: law; phenomenology; reality; values; consciousness; legal reality; subject; socium; intersubjectivity.
