Legal reflection of postmodernism on human behavior

Abstract

The article characterizes the specifics of postmodernism and outlines the peculiarities of its legal reflection in human behavior. It is noted that postmodernism is a philosophical category that defines the moral and mental specificity of the era in general, it appears as a global, all-encompassing reflection on modern realities and changes that have occurred or are occurring in human life, consciousness, and behavior. The main feature of this new culture is concern about the position of the individual in modern society, in which there is a constant improvement of communicative means of legal, intellectual, worldview, and ideological mastery of a person. Postmodernism, on the one hand, rejects modernist legal and social values, and on the other hand, rethinks the legal and social matter of the past, borrowing and adapting previously developed forms.
 It was noted that postmodernism is expressed in the behavior of a person, his responsibility before the law, morals and ethics, the correlation of technical achievements with legal humanism (humanity and ideals of man), the development of a new ecological legal consciousness, the creation of a truly social democracy, which combines the principles of freedom, equality and justice Additional aspects of the postmodern paradigm are expressed in the development of post-materialist legal values, beliefs, norms and stereotypes of behavior. They are embodied in a new attitude to races and classes, to nature, the problem of war and peace, which is formed under the influence of new social movements: ecological, gender, peace movements. Hence, values are not lost, but their reorientation, adaptation to new social realities takes place.
