Lecture on post modern discourse on HRs

VARANASi

Postmodernism, which in itself is hostile to all conceptions central to modernity, is


incompatible with the rights of man because of its hostility towards universalism,
autonomy and subjectivist view to human person. Postmodernism considers human rights
merely as a false view of human nature as a egoistic and selfish. Having provided a critic
of modernity, it is argued by post-modern thinkers that human rights must be
emancipated from false consciousness. It has rejected the theory that human begins
have certain rights because they are human beings. These views were expressed by Prof.
DP Verma, dean of the Faculty of Law which delivering a lecture of Postmodern Discourse
on Human Rights, held under auspices of the Current Law School, BHU.

The Current Law Forum lecture has been started this year after a gap of several years with
a lecture by a teacher of this Law School. Earlier, the Current Law Forum was meant of the
lectures of outside experts only.

Prof. Verna held that postmodernism values plurality of cultural, ethnic and religious
matter narratives, where pluralistic justice can be possible for the other, the excluded
and the marginalized.
