An attempt to trace the dynamics of development of conception of justice in the philosophical-legal and psychological theories of justice is undertaken in the article. The sociallypsychological constituent of philosophical-legal theories of justice is examined, connection of psychological conceptions of justice is traced with naturally-legal theories. An author distinguishes the socially-psychological context of philosophical-legal theories of justice: attitude of man toward society, political power and state; priority of the personal or social values; social equality of different social groups; criteria of justice of laws protecting separate human rights; criteria of trust – mistrust (to legitimity); ideas about a law and state institutes; idea about the codes of conduct etc. In the article is grounded position that psychological conceptions of justice take beginning in naturally-legal theories, in that first sounded questions about a justice in mutual relations between a man and society, man and state. Psychological conceptions of justice are examined as sources of ideas about the criteria of justice. An author pays attention to that the ideas of people about «just» in the field of relations are bound in their consciousness with political-legal concrete options (attitude toward laws and rights, state and his institutes, to the form of the political system etc.). And in basis of psychological mechanisms of experiencing of feelings of «justice», an idea lies about equality (inequality) of distribution of legal rights and degree of social and political freedoms for the members of society (or representatives of different social groups). On the basis of this theoretical analysis drawn conclusion that ideas about a justice, formed standards of justice and social options of justice are the constituents of political-legal consciousness of personality.Downloads
