In this doctrine the author criticizes the theory of “social rules” and the conventional “rule of recognition”, which is basic for his opponents. The theory requires an agreed unity of practice and defends the controversial character and moral engagement of normative grounds and criteria of law, their priority and autonomy against community practices. The relevance of the topic is due both to the fundamental nature of the Dworkin - positivists dispute, and peculiarities of the 1972 doctrine, which formed a number of its “cross-cutting” elements. The article is aimed at systematization and assessment of the 1972 doctrine, relies on the texts by its author, his opponents and researchers, and uses various tools, primarily the ideological and historical method, focused on explication of views and issues developing in the history of thought. The study results are generalization of original components of R. Dworkin’s 1972 doctrine, its localization within the dispute between the author and positivists and discerning its ideological and historical implications. Summing up the article emphasizes a stimulating role of the 1972 doctrine for evolution of the rival approaches, as well as its potential for the philosophy of law, associated with R. Dworkin’s problematization of a link between normativity and facticity in law, linguistic-analytical idea of a rule as a practice, and conventionalist account of foundations of law which decenters normative disagreements.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Предмет - доктрина американского правоведа Рональда Дворкина, представленная в очерке «Социальные правила и правовая теория» (1972) и рассматриваемая как этап в его масштабной полемике с юридическим позитивизмом. В рамках данной доктрины автор критикует базовую для оппонентов теорию «социальных правил» и конвенционального «правила распознания», требующую согласованного единства практики, отстаивая спорность и моральную ангажированность нормативных оснований права, их приоритет и автономию относительно практик сообщества. Актуальность темы обусловлена как фундаментальностью спора Р. Дворкина и позитивистов, так особенностями (мало обсуждаемой) доктрины 1972 года, сформировавшей ряд «сквозных» для него элементов. Статья имеет целью систематизацию и оценку доктрины 1972 года, опирается на тексты автора, его оппонентов и исследователей, использует различные инструменты, прежде всего идейно-исторический метод, сосредоточенный на разъяснении взглядов и проблем, развивающихся в истории мысли. Результатами исследования выступают обобщение оригинальных компонентов доктрины Р. Дворкина 1972 года, ее локализация в контексте спора автора и позитивистов, выявление ее идейно-исторических следствий. В качестве выводов в статье подчеркивается стимулирующая роль доктрины 1972 года для эволюции соперничающих подходов, а также ее потенциал для философии права, ассоциируемый с проблематизацией Р. Дворкином связи нормативности и фактичности в праве, лингво-аналитической идеи правила как обыкновения и конвенционалистской трактовки оснований права, децентрирующей нормативные разногласия.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>R.
