1Constructive- Postmodern Approaches on the Philosophy of LawPostmodern Openings 1 (3): 23-34. 2010.The characteristic of postmodernism as a cultural paradigm is deconstruction.

No interpretation of Deconstruction, in Derrida's way as the sense of universality of language, it is not possible, because any interpretation goes in same direction as deconstruction. From the deconstructive-reconstructive her…Read more

The removing of transcendent in postmodernity gives rise to a new humanism "beyond the person" is void, nothingness. The existentialist humanism still kept the "the human being" as a metaphoric referential, which contrasts with the "nothingness". Postmodern humanism…Read more

Justice as a constitutive value of public administrationAnnals of Philosophy, Social and Human Disciplines 1 (1): 43-58. 2016.The justice as an ethical value can be considered constitutive for contemporary administrative systems.

The preferred focus is on the value of positivism, of cooperation as a source of efficiency, of personal enrichment, be it cultural, spiritual, o…Read more
