The methodology of the study is based on applying of the historical, culturological, crossdisciplinary methods, which allow the author to study historical measurements of legal culture as an essential factor of the formation of the system of social and legal relations within society and outline the problematics of legal culture in historical context. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the author’s attempt to ground historical measurements of legal culture as a reflection of the experience of humanity’s life activity, which is formed by human activity in society. Conclusions. Legal culture has historical measurements. It mirrors the experience of humanity’s life activity, which is formed by human activity in society, by the combination of external and internal factors of its formation (external – society, internal – human, his or her internal, individual experience, self-realization). In particular, human influences the system of social and legal relations by his activity, and society, in its turn, absorbs all the best, while accumulating experience and forming a system of social and legal relations in society and delivering developed norms and rules to the next generations. The development of a legal culture is directly related to the general level of culture, the worldviews dominant in the society, the mentality, the monotonous mass behavior of people, the dialogue of cultures and peoples, borrowing from different legal cultures of the new and perspective. Legal culture has perspectives in a society in which the essential elements of the law are produced. Without the level of development of the culture of society, its willingness to accept certain values, and normative guidelines, it is impossible to form a society of developed legal culture and to build the rule of law, which is the topic of further research.
