- Abstract
For the first time in the Ukrainian philosophy, the socio–philosophical views of the great US jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, the central figure of the philosophical and legal branch of pragmatism, are carefully analyzed. The purpose of the article is to investigate the conditions for the formation of the socio–philosophical outlook of O. W. Holmes and to determine its influence on the development of the Philosophy of Pragmatism in the USA. Revolutionary in the philosophical sense Holmes's comprehension of the concept of law was based on the understanding of the changeable socio–historical reality. The philosophical vision of the correlation between the concepts of law and morality gives the opportunity to develop the theory of law from the point of view of a «bad person», which is free of any moral principles. Philosophical interpretation of common sense allowed Holmes to realize the social nature of the law that is based on life experience. It is proved that the social and philosophical views of Oliver Wendell Holmes contributed to the transformation of ideological foundations of US philosophy from dogmatism to scepticism, from theology to experimentalism. It opened the way for development of the Philosophy of Pragmatism and legal realism.
