Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of one episode from the life of two Russian scientists, namely the discussion between P. Novgorodtsev and his student V. Savalskiy. All the poignancy of the episode lies in the fact that both opposing thinkers had been followers of neokantianism trends in philosophy, and defended the concept of natural law. In addition, a detailed description of life and work of the little-known philosopher of law Vasiliy Alexandrovich Savalskiy is given. It is noted that at the beginning of his scientific search, he became the main researcher and critic of the teachings of neo-kantians in Russia. During his time at the University of Warsaw V. Savalskiy studied the problems of history and theory of state and law, constitutional law.
