Abstract

The article examines the cultural origins of postmodernism in order to establish the true meaning and purpose of the post-law developed on its basis. According to the results of the study, there is no evidence that postmodernism belongs to the general cultural phenomena of modernity, the argument about which is often used as a strong argument for the development of post-law and its introduction into scientific and practical circulation. The attitude of postmodernism to the subculture of protest is revealed. The analysis of the prerequisites that form postmodernism convinced him that he does not have a positive agenda for society, and the post-right has something new and anti-crisis.
Postmodernity and the post-law derived from it are forms of nihilism and can only be used terminologically to emphasize the nature of the gap between certain groups of society and the meanings and traditions operating in it. The study of the consequences of the adaptation of postclassical ideas in jurisprudence has revealed that they affirm in the legal consciousness the ideas of the classical antipodes of law as its newest values, and law enforcement returns to the times when objective imputation prevailed in justice.
