Sumario: The word postmodern go to post prefix, as something later. In this case, “after” modernity. Lyotard (1996) expands and popularized the term postmodernism when used to refer to disbelief regarding metanarratives of humanity. According to Jean François Lyotard himself, great praise stories that have arisen in the history of mankind, especially in the West, are four: the story of Christianity, marxist narrative, the story and the enlightened capitalist story. Human rights claim to universal validity, are considered by postmodernism as the new legitimating myth of the West. They are pejoratively regarded as mere liberal rights, corresponding to an individualistic mentality and an atomistic conception of society itself and characteristic of Western liberalism. Postmodernism calls into question the universal law of formal equality of rights and law not only contemporary but the same rule of law as an instrument of Western political and economic power are reviewed. However, with the arrival on the scene of the East, after the 11-s and 11-m, as world events, the so-called war on terror and thus the beginning of the end of postmodern philosophy begins. In any case, it is necessary and urgent to the elimination or reduction of this polarity and for this purpose the conceptual and empirical approaches to constitutionalism, in the plane of the domestic law of the States; and at the international level an alliance of civilizations, constitute glimmers of hope for progress towards a possible and necessary universality, in which the law, especially human rights, play a decisive role in the protection of the individual human, regardless of the cultural context in which it is located.
