Abstract: in connection with the search of an answer to the question of «new» philosophical foundations of law, the author proposes to consider the past from the point of view of their epis-temological status. Proceeding from this, in the work emphasizes: reflective philosophical foun-dations, revealing the law in its own logic of its being, and valuative philosophical foundations, which aim at understanding law from the perspective of certain values. The attempts to build philosophical foundations of law on the basis of a single philosophy, will succeed only in case if such a philosophy will be able to connect valuative and reflective approaches to law, and also to express a public consensus on basic values.
