In the conditions of modern state-making and law-making processes, caused by the significant changes in the positive law, the need of formulating because of methodological pluralism new understanding of the doctrine and the subject of administrative law as a complex, multidimensional and systemic phenomena for cognition of the totality of legal and scientific judgments about administrative-legal reality is actualized.

The purpose of this article, according to the above, is to gain new knowledge about algorithms for solving these problems by using phenomenological analysis and the systematic approach.

The methodology used in this work is harmonized with the principal position, according to which the use of one or another method cannot be reduced to a single formulation, and specific research technologies (procedures of analysis, comparison, systematics, periodization, etc.) vary depending on the nature of the subject of research and its purpose. However, we shall emphasize that the search tools include methods of phenomenological and systematic analysis, narrative, historical and genetic, method of ideal constructions and others.

 The authors focus on the fact that an important issue of understanding the essence of administrative law is the establishment and study of forms of its objectification (external expression). One of these forms is the doctrine of administrative law. The qualities of the doctrine are revealed in its phenomenology. The concept of phenomenology is largely shaped by ontological and epistemological knowledge of the subject of research. The relationship and proportions of ontological and epistemological in this or that phenomenon explains the peculiarities of its objectification in the legal reality.

The article introduces the idea that an important form of manifestation of administrative law, in which its content is defined, is the subject of this legal field. The notion of thesubject of administrative law is revealed by specifying its properties in historical and genetic aspects.

The subject`s systematization at different stages of evolution of administrative and legal relations is investigated especially carefully. The existence in the subject of modern Ukrainian administrative law of relations of administrative duties is substantiated. According to the author, they the relations concerning the execution of administrative duties of the public administration before the society are a generalized name of the systemic totality of relations that constitute the subject of administrative and legal regulation, or the subject of administrative law.

The authors believe that they have tried to ensure the integrity and consistency of representation of knowledge about the doctrine and the subject of administrative law on their concept, phenomenological characteristics, peculiarities of interaction between themselves and other sectoral components of administrative and legal space, and the main thing is to state that the substantive segment of administrative law is represented in the administrative and legal doctrine, and the substantive segment in the subject of administrative law.
