Ontological discourse of legal progress as forms of social progress

The main philosophical and legal approaches to the ontological understanding of legal progress as a form of social progress. Legal progress has been considered in two aspects: global (broad) and concrete (narrow). The global approach is connected with the development of humanity as a whole, its justice, its legal culture. A narrow approach involves studying the progress of a particular stage of human development (mostly modern).
