Abstract
The prefix “postµ in “post-lawµ indicates that something has ended, but it is not clear what has begun; it warns us that we are in a moment of transition and that the moment demands that we reconfigure the map of problems and solutions. According to Giuseppe Zaccaria, post-law is characterized by the theoretical pair of deconstruction/pluralism, and it is from this pair that this essay critically reconstructs Zaccaria’s legal-philosophical perspective. The aspect that is taken into more significant consideration is the possibility of reserving a space for the objectivity and correctness of legal decisions under pluralism and multiculturalism
