Abstract
The science of the history of political and legal doctrines is an individualizing (idiographic) and generalizing (nomological) science. The main methodological problems of the history of political and legal doctrines include: availability of written primary sources, arrangement of material and assessment of the content of political and legal doctrines, style of presentation and uniform understanding of terms, methodological dissonance in the presentation of material, attempts to create politically neutral, "objective" theories of law and state, the desire to combine components of different doctrines, thereby creating one "only true" or "true" theory. It is concluded that most methodological problems of the history of political and legal doctrines are a reflection of the de-ideologization of the subject of this science and are in the sphere of doctrinal thinking.
