- Albert Chernenko
Albert Konstantinovich Chernenko (born 1935) is a
Russia n philosopher, best known for his innovations in the field of social andlegal philosophy . During the rule of theSoviet Union , Chernenko created the theory of "historicalcausality ," which asserts that the multilevel nature of cause-effect relationships plays a significant part in historical processes. [Albert Chernenko, "Causality In History", 1983] This was an essential step in the development of the Soviets' understanding of historical events. According to Chernenko, causality in history has three levels of self-development: "general" (the building of a concrete formation), "special" (historical conditions), and "individual" (actions of historic figures). [Albert Chernenko, "Features of Causality In History And Dialectics of Its Research", 1971, "Socially-Philosophical Problems of The Theory of Historical Causality", 1985]In the early 1990s, he developed the idea of "legal technology," in which the methodology of social engineering is used to design social processes and to reform a social system. The purpose of legal technology, according to Chernenko, is the creation of a rational and effective legal system in light of the multilevel nature of causality and system-substantial understanding of the right. In this sense as the social phenomenon has the right not only external (the social environment), but also internal potential of inconsistent "self-development", that allows to consider the legal phenomena in a context sociocultural determinations (at a macrolevel) and self-determinations (microlevel).
