У статті піддано критиці поширений у вітчизняному правознавстві поелементний підхід до розу-
міння верховенства права та на основі аналізу широкого кола філософської і філософсько-правової
літератури, зокрема зарубіжної, обґрунтовано нерозривний онтологічний та аксіологічний зв’язок
верховенства права з людським буттям та невідчужуваними правами людини.
Among the many problems of the law existence, the “algebraic” type of its phenomena includes the reality, the
properties and nature of law as a whole, its actual ‘what’ and ‘how’, the way it is connected with the human and
the humanity. In the most concentrated form, all these, as well as many other related questions, can be reduced to
one generalizing problem of substantiation of the rule of law. The latter, as its comprehensive analysis proves,
even within the paradigm limits of the same cognitive tradition, not to mention its different and even opposite alternatives,
is solved differently from the point of view of philosophical and methodological tools and supplementary
cognitive means. At the same time, the overwhelming majority of these versions complement each other and
relate in one way or another to justification of existence of human rights as the nucleus, the foundations of law.
The article critically analyzes a common elemental approach to understanding the rule of law, and on the
basis of the analysis of a wide range of philosophical and legal literature available in the domestic jurisprudence,
substantiates the inseparable ontological and axiological connection of the rule of law with human being
and inalienable human rights..
