Introduction

Abstract

The isse presented here tries to deal with the articulated conceptuality that the world of law manifests and offers to philosophical thought from an eminently interdisciplinary perspective. The contributions that compose it have the merit of proposing a reasoned and multifaceted, critical and trans-historical reflection on the multiple morphologies that the law seems to assume both in its historical evolution and in the concrete contemporary condition. The biggest objective that guided the setting of this issue lies in the attempt to think about those storytelling practices - and at the same time intrinsically violent - that limit the action of the law. Law has always played a primary role in the "naturalization" of the powers of domination of man over his fellow men, and of man over nature. The sovereignty of the law - its rising magnificently above the inner hole of the individual - is nothing but the form, the expected result, of a violent and unexpected gesture, but so natural as to inform the very constitution of the political bodies , and their current existence.
