The article deals with the systematisation of the existing ideas about legal pluralism. There are various teachings on law in the article and they are correlated with different philosophical approaches to pluralism (extreme subjectivism, subjective idealism, extreme objectivism, dialectical approach), and the legal pluralism is considered as a reflection of social pluralism. There is confirmed the inadmissibility of the absolutization of ideas about legal pluralism, in which the systemness of law as such is denied, and at the same time the productivity of its consideration as an inevitable aspect of the development of law. There is esablished the possibility of combining the dialectical approach to law with the ideas of legal pluralism. It is concluded that legal pluralism cannot be reduced only to situations of a combination of official and unofficial (authorized) law within the state. It represents complementary and substituting forms of pluralism of law (the presence of several systems (subsystems) of law in society) and pluralism in law (consideration of the interests and values of various social groups in a specific system (subsystem) of law at the level of principles of law, legal norms, legal relations). From a practical point of view, this conclusion means the applicability of the concept of legal pluralism not only to the legal “exoticism”, but also to the political and legal reality of many modern societies.
