Abstract
We consider the political and legal doctrines of the Middle Ages, containing the principles and ideas that served as the basis for the pension legislation of European countries and Russia, passed in the following centuries. We reveal the special role of religious doctrines in the development of key approaches to social protection of the elderly and other disabled persons. We substantiate the conclusion that the development of a specific model for the protection of personal data depended on the peculiarities of understanding charity in Orthodoxy, Catholicism or Protestantism. We examine the views of Saint Augustine and Thomas Aquinas on the social function of the state and its role in ensuring the basic needs of the individual. We analyze the doctrines of the utopian socialists of the 16th–17th centuries (T. Mora, T. Campanella, J. Winstanley, E.-G. Morelli), consider their main ideas regarding the provision of the elderly and other disabled persons. We substantiate the urgency of referring to the works of medieval philosophers at the present time in connection with the need to search for a new paradigm for the development of pension legislation. We conclude that the role of the principle of universal equal distribution of the social product is growing in the context of economic constraints and a pandemic.
