Abstract
The article examines the problem of the relationship between law and morality in the context of the relationship between positivism and natural law. The author substantiates the idea that morality is a prerequisite for law and its goal, which is especially important in today's world, where the ideas of postmodernism and formalism are spreading, and the digitalization of human relationships is taking place. The article concludes that it is necessary to change the paradigm of legal understanding in connection with the adoption of Presidential Decree No. 809 of November 9, 2022, "On the Approval of the Fundamentals of State Policy for the Preservation and Strengthening of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values" and the perception of the traditions of Russian theory and Philosophy of Law.
