As a result of his many years of tireless and multifaceted activity, Petro Moiseyovych Rabinovych (1936–2023) inherited over a thousand scientific works dedicated to the most relevant and diverse problems of legal science. Undoubtedly, the proper study of this heritage is an important task facing legal scholars, the fulfilment of which requires a series of detailed and systematic studies. Therefore, in the presented work, I limit myself only to the general characteristics of the scientific heritage of the outstanding scientist. In the context of the current topic of the issue, this allows us to better understand the systemic connections between Petro Moiseyovych’s human rights research and other components of his rich and diverse scientific output. In the article, after a brief description of the personality of P. Rabinovych as a scientist, pedagogue and person, the following main disciplinary and corresponding thematic directions of his scientific creativity in the field of theoretical jurisprudence are defined as: Metascience of law: scientific problems of law, methodology of legal research; Philosophy of law: theory of legal understanding – a needs-based approach to law, axiology of law – value dimension of law, anthropological problems of law; General theory of law: conception of legal regularities, theory of legality/rule of law, theory of legal norms, theory of legal regulation; Theory of human rights: conceptual apparatus of the this theory and interpretation of human rights; Sociology of law: methodological developments for measuring the effectiveness of various legal phenomena. Based on these same thematic directions, new ideas and developments are characterized, according to which the scientist’s contribution to theoretical jurisprudence is the most important and significant.
