Summary/Abstract: The concept of “civilization” is traditionally understood predominantly in its cultural, political, geographical, and historical context of similar societies. Law and the legal system, in turn, also possess civilizational characteristics, and the law that has emerged within the framework of Western civilization has a potentially universal character. The existence of risks such as wars, pandemics, including the “clash of civilizations” as defined by Samuel Huntington, can lead to the erosion of the civilizational legal system, its principles and standards, and the way in which legal reasoning is applied and understood within it.
