Introduction to a Debate on Legal Subjects and the New Others, as a Legal and Philosophical Problem

Abstract

This article attempts to address the discussion around Valeria Berros’s text “When the obvious ceases to be obvious: new subjects and others in contemporary law”. I will start by outlining the main arguments

proposed by the author and continue to point out reflections raised by the growing importance of some of the debates aroused in the discussion and I will refer to their repercussions, which clearly exceed the field of law. I also will bring a narrative which may provide an argumentative umbrella to draw the map that links the elements brought by the commentators, Lisbôa and Drivet, related not only to the central text but also among them.
