Law in the Postmodern View: A Critical Study in the Philosophy of Law

Abstract

The postmodernist idea of ​​law rejects the idea of ​​objective truth and challenges the idea of ​​a single universal narrative. In the context of jurisprudence, postmodernism also questions the neutrality and objectivity of legal systems, focusing on the role of language, power, and social context in shaping legal meaning. It also draws attention to the indeterminacy and ambiguity in legal language, and postmodern interpretations of law can include critical consideration of legal inequalities and analysis. Its theoretical normative character is through the method to complete the philosophy of law project. What is important in this study is to understand the concept of postmodernism in order to reveal the most important obstacles and variables and reshape modernist approaches by examining the modern complexities and contradictions and not believing in the grand narratives as Lyotard sees them. Therefore, practices can be used. Criticality associated with postmodern philosophy, such as deconstruction, as an interpretive tool to ensure recognition of a set of values ​​and norms Different and diverse or viewed as a philosophy, postmodernism rejects the notions of rationality, objectivity, and universal truth. Instead, it emphasizes the diversity of human experience and the multiplicity of perspectives. This is why the postmodern approach requires that the researcher trace certain meanings or interpretations through their relationships with other meanings and interpretations. It has challenged the idea of ​​the existence of certainties. Or universal truths. Postmodernism drew on the philosophy of the mid-to-late twentieth century and advocated that individual experience and the interpretation of our experience were more concrete than abstract principles.
