Abstract
This article analyzes the general methodology and the specific characteristics of postmodern philosophy of law. Were shown symptoms of exhaustion of the initial modernist paradigm, which, in its turn, cause a new metamorphosis of law. In such circumstances, the postmodern paradigm assumes implementation of the order of things, in all its brutality and curvature. In particular, the question of power is felt as a «game» on the stage of life, and the political and legal theories announced as illusions. As one of the main features of postmodern legal theory indicated death of a person, as the author or creator of legal texts. The meaning of the legal text is generated in the process of interpretation of the individual, whose subjectivity is primarily a «physical». Discussed crucial for the postmodern philosophy of law, theme of the end of the grand narrative. Accordingly, the rules are fundamentally subjective and dependent on the will to power of each individual. Instead of the «rules of the game», which legitimize and justify the life of man and society, postmodernism offers two alternatives – a critical narratology and literary strategy as law. Were shown differences between modern and postmodern law narrative, in which it is not about the subject and his story about himself, but it is about the story, that unfolds in the signs and interpretations. The eschatological finale of law, according to representatives of the postmodern philosophy of law, will come suddenly, when all the people have finished all of their stories. The concept of symbolic cartography allows us to represent Law as the different legal spaces superimposed on each other and combined in the minds and actions of people. Legality in the paradigm of postmodernity is being understood as a porous and is presented in the form of interlegality as the phenomenological duplicate of law plurality. Showed heuristic potential of symbolic cartography of law. The discourse of justice within the post-modern philosophy of law is shown as the distinction between law and justice. The law is understood as a legitimate, established legal systems, which must be deconstructed. The main purpose of the deconstruction of the law is not destruction, but improvement of it. Deconstruction is understood as an equal participant or the condition of the dynamics of laws. Justice as the base boundary of the law, is not the subject to deconstruction. It is outside the law, or on the other side of it. It is not a regulative idea, an ideal or paradigm. It is necessary to see the language in it that requires contextual use.
