Abstract
Introduction: The problems of theology or metaphysics of international law are widely represented in the literature. The study of basic concepts in this regard can serve as a basis for the development of an alternative theory of international law.
Methods: historicism, system, analysis and comparative law.
Results: the main directions of Western international legal thought are a form of political religion.
Conclusions: criticism of the metaphysical doctrine (theological component) involves the construction of an alternative doctrine in the metaphysical field; the international legal content of the doctrine (legal component) is protected by reference to historical realism. The contours of the national doctrine of the international law as a synthesis of metaphysical and international legal foundations are proposed.
