During the rule of the [[Soviet Union]], Chernenko created the theory of "historical [[causality]]," which asserts that the multilevel nature of cause-effect relationships plays a significant part in historical processes.<ref>Albert Chernenko, ''Causality In History'', 1983</ref> This was an essential step in the development of the Soviets' understanding of historical events. According to Chernenko, causality in history has three levels of self-development: "general" (the building of a concrete formation), "special" (historical conditions), and "individual" (actions of historic figures).<ref>Albert Chernenko, ''Features of Causality In History And Dialectics of Its Research'', 1971, ''Socially-Philosophical Problems of The Theory of Historical Causality'', 1985</ref> In the early 1990s, he developed the idea of "legal technology," in which the methodology of [[Social engineering (political science)|social engineering]] is used to design social processes and to reform a social system. The purpose of legal technology, according to Chernenko, is the creation of a rational and effective legal system in light of the multilevel nature of causality and system-substantial understanding of the right. In this sense as the social phenomenon has the right not only external (the social environment), but also internal potential of inconsistent "self-development", that allows to consider the legal phenomena in a context sociocultural determinations (at a macrolevel) and self-determinations (microlevel). == References == *''Features of Causality In History And Dialectics of Its Research'' (1971) *''Causality In History'' (1983) *''Socially-Philosophical Problems of The Theory of Historical Causality'' (1985) *''Legal Philosophy'' (1997) *''Alternatives of Economic And Legal Development'' (2002) *''The Target Component And Axiological Aharacter of Legal Technology'' (2003) *''Theoretical And Methodological Problems of The Legal System Forming'' (2004) == Notes== <references/> {{DEFAULTSORT:Chernenko, Albert}} [[Category:1935 births]] [[Category:Russian philosophers]] [[Category:Living people]]
