Abstract

The review notes that I. A. Isaev’s work allows for a deeper understanding of his philosophical and legal ideas, which form an integral image of power and law against the broad background of history. In this philosophical work, power and law are combined into a single composition of historical evolution. The emphasis is on the fact that politics and power, followed by law, cannot always be positioned as a domain of linear causal relationships; behind political and normative structures, there is another world with its own structures and rulers who actually rule over people. This concept is revealed in the work of I. A. Isaev. In the philosophical and legal work under consideration, works belonging to the pen of the most famous thinkers of various periods are widely used, which makes it possible to draw convincing and reasonable conclusions.
