Abstract

[Affectivity and Law. The resource of intimacy, Jullien reader of Simenon] This paper aims to analyze a particular dimension of being human: intimacy. To this end, the reading that François Jullien offers, starting by discussing a few pages of the work, Simenon's Train, is useful. The idea is to think of a juridicity that is no longer closed in its schemes but open and that finds a common space of sharing in respect for the other; this mechanism is, in Jullien discerned in intimacy that in its structure provides for two subjects to meet in a defined space of thirdness that in law is the space of juridicity that turns ( following Heritier) toward an affective turn.
