In epistemology the law is mainly considered in general as a particular form of the scientific knowledge. In the paper an attempt is undertaken to substantiate that at the stage of non-classic science the aim at the discovery of the structural laws in all its fields was formed. The analysis of the structural law given by the scientists such as A. Einstein, N. Bourbaki, F. de Saussure, V. Shklovsky, V. Propp, K. Levi-Strauss and others and also the estimates of structuralism methodologists (R. Bart, G. Deleuze and others) is the empirical basis of the paper. In the first decades of the 20th century researchers (in physics, mathematics, linguistics, study of literature and other sciences) come to the conclusion that just the laws of statics/synchronism/stability allow to reveal the internal world of the investigative subjects, their relative autonomy. The search of the structural laws is connected with the procedures of deconstruction of the initial subjects and their modelling/constructing in the linguistic system’s form. Formal and sign character of elements, structure as the order of their relations allow to reach a theoretical level of the investigation, the discovery of the structural laws con firms this.
