• Resumen

  • The article researches how are the main features of legal being   disclosed in the ancient Presocratic teachings. In particular, it is being analyzed the cosmic liability of Anaximander. Pythagoras' ideas about regulation are considered as a separate category, not as a personified image. According to Heraclitus's teachings, it is being researched the place of the Fire and Logos categories in the legal being. The author clarifies the importance of Parmenides's ontological doctrine for the formation of ancient ideas about legal being, as well as the regulatory value of love and hate in the notions of Empedocles. The article analyzes the nature concept as a criterion of truth and quality for the material rules pursuant to the Democritus philosophical doctrine.
