The article uses an interdisciplinary approach to determine the place of law in the system of culture, based on cultural studies and the conclusions of legal science. The legal values of freedom, justice and formal equality occupy a dominant position in the system of the individualistic type of culture. The article shows the dynamics of legal values in the context of the dynamics of culture, which is developing in the direction of increasing recognition of the postmaterialist values of self-expression and rationality-the values of freedom, justice, equality, tolerance, mutual assistance and cooperation. Based on sociological data, the author draws a conclusion about the role of law in the system of socioculture as a value and institutional factor of progress and the result of social development. Interdisciplinary studies of cultures confirm the basic social and legal pattern-the movement towards greater freedom and equality of an increasing number of people.
