The article explores the current understanding of the conceptual foundations of Russian Law in the context of possibility of overcoming the values-worldview dichotomy according to the determinations of axiology, logic and pragmatics of the foundations under consideration. Also, the author considers John Rawls’ Theory of Justice taken as the most influential political and legal philosophy of the West, as well as its alternative represented by Eurasian philosophical thought. The article analyzes the ability of the Eurasian understanding of the State and Law to compete with liberalism and John Rawls’ neoconstructivism. Narrowness of both the first and the second alternative is shown and the necessity of taking into account each of the vectors of development of conceptual foundations of modern Russian Law is substantiated.
