This thesis is based upon the results obtained from a philosophical study of the legal culture of a personality phenomenon, conducted using the methodological principles of the agapelogical approach. The purpose of the study is a philosophical and reflective understanding of the legal culture of a personality phenomenon, conducted using the methodological principles of the agapelogical approach. With the purpose of solving the first problem, which is based on conducting an analysis of the philosophical heritage of domestic and foreign thinkers, the definition of the concepts of “legal culture” and “legal culture of a personality” in philosophical discourse has been clarified. The author’s definition of the concept of “legal culture of a personality” is presented as a set of views, values, norms, attitudes that characterize the individual’s attitude towards law, legality, justice and social and legal existence. It is noted that the ontological essence of the legal culture of a personality is revealed in the self-awareness of oneself as a holistic and harmonious person, whose worldview is based on agapeic attitudes. It is noted that the legal culture of a personality has a nature value and reflects the state of the most important social values in legal form, namely the value of individual freedom. The legal culture of a personality is a complex sociocultural phenomenon by its nature, it is therefore important to use certain filters in order to include or exclude some of its characteristic features. We believe one of these most important markers to be the agapelogical nature of being. As for us, this marker is highly important for characterizing this type of culture as the legal culture of a personality, and the possibilities of using the agapelogical approach to determine its modern content. A definition of the concept of “agapeic reality” is included, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of the legal existence of society with a new socio-philosophical content. We understand the concept of agapeic sociality as a certain type of social reality, formed as a result of socio-communicative interaction, deriving from the agapeic principles of humanity, trust and the priority of spirituality. The development of different ideas about the legal culture of a personality in philosophical discourse was analysed in solving the second problem. The theoretical and conceptual foundations of the study of the legal culture of a personality were highlighted, based on the agapeic foundations of sociality in the “heart’s philosophy” of H. Skovoroda (cordocentrism); as well as in the philosophical views of P. Yurkevych on the heart as the basis of the human being and the spiritual and moral source of mental activity; in the philosophical theory of V. Turenko, consisting of a study of the phenomenon of love in its genesis from ancient times and in modern society. The ideas of modern Ukrainian scientists such as V. Turenko, I. Holubovych, V. Malakhov, Y. Brodetska were analysed in order to determine the theoretical and methodological contours of the agapelogical approach to the study of the legal culture of a personality. Determining the heuristic potential of the axiological approach in the study of the legal culture of a personality was the result of solving the third problem. The heuristic potential focuses on the values of an individual, influencing the formation of their attitude and worldview. It is noted that with the help of axiological methodology, it is possible to analyse the legal values of an individual, the value characteristics of the legal culture of a personality, determined by the cultural context and the value-normative system of society. Determining the theoretical, methodological and praxeological contours of the agapelogical approach in the study of the legal culture of a personality was the result of solving the fourth problem. Arguments were given regarding the fact that the use of the agapelogical approach in the study of the legal culture of a personality makes it possible to holistically and meaningfully characterize the legal culture of a personality, which is realized through high-quality relationships between members of society, based on social life on the principles of “love-wisdom - reason/reasonableness - justice”. It is noted that the specificity of using the agapelogical approach to the philosophical study of the legal culture of a personality lies in taking into account the integrity and harmony of human nature. The value of using the agapelogical approach to the study of the legal culture of a personality lies in the application of the basic principles inherent in this approach, such as integrity and harmony. The revelation of the ontological essence of the legal culture of a personality was the result of solving the fifth problem. The ontological essence has a complex structure and includes at least such elements as legal consciousness, legal values, legal attitudes,
