Abstract

Contemporary investigations that are closely connected to the sphere of human rights have expanded the boundaries of law theory and stated its close connection to the moral sphere. The examples of such investigations are represented in the introduction. Starting from the second part of the XXth century, they were becoming more and more popular all over the world. This progress has shown many terminological issues related to the moral notions that should be solved as soon as possible with the help of cross-disciplinary studies. Hence the main aim and task of the article are to demonstrate the way to identify and solve such issues with the help of philosophical methodology on the example of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this purpose, Baconian and Cartesian research methods are used in conjunction with R. Dworkin terminological approach with the help of conceptual-categorical analysis, comparative analysis, and hermeneutic method. On the basis of the study and analysis of the Baconian and Cartesian methodologies and with help of R. Dworkin economic terminological approach, the author of the article within research results demonstrates the process of identifying of problematic notions in a legal text, its analysis in the context of the legal area, and, as a result, the formulation of contextual (situational) interpretation of concepts of this kind. The discussion reviews the state of affairs within contemporary social studies on respect from the points of view of the history of philosophy, political theory and philosophy of law. The emphasis is made on contemporary European and American studies, such as conference and essays provided by different scholars, Ph.D. students, and postgraduate students. The conclusions prove that we can and should measure moral notions in law sphere because of their important role in the lawmaking process. The author emphasizes that we can create an adequate contextual (situational) interpretation of vague notions, especially moral notions with the help of philosophical methodology.
