Legal perspectives on the method of myth

With this paper I would like to highlight the juridical nature of what De Castro calls, in opposition to the Cartesian myth of method, the method of myth. The myth is characterized by the impossibility and at the same time the unavoidability of the argument about its own origin. Even moving from the immanentist dimension of myth, we are overwhelmed by the desire to turn around and look for our own origin, which vanishes in the same way as Eurydice with Orpheus. The problem of origin, which raises and doesn’t solve this ambiguity, is the problem of law, law to be understood as literature. The metaphor of Orpheus within this literary movement may be used to criticize the legal knowledge from its middle, and not only conceptually. We need a duality of register to bypass the conceptuality and this is why the survey that I propose will be developed on the one side with Deleuze and on the other hand with some elements taken from Shakespeare, Cervantes and Pessoa.
