Abstract. This scientific article is an in-depth examination of the types and criteria of the typology of legal understanding, as well as their theoretical and practical significance.
The typology of legal understanding is a scientific classification, that is, a classification premised on essential characteristics. From a structural perspective, typology falls under two main categories: empirical and theoretical.
The empirical typology of legal understanding is based on the processing and the interpretation of experimental data concerning the legal perceptions of various subjects of legal understanding. In contrast, the theoretical typology presupposes the construction of a certain ideal model, based on theoretical reasoning and critical analysis of various concepts.
Keywords: typology, legal understanding, empirical and theoretical typology, essence of law, objective-idealist and subjective-realist approaches.
