Beyond Narcissus Mirror
roman law from identity to alterity
Abstract
The article analyzes the role played by Roman law in the building of the western legal identity, highlighting the creative role of its reception by each culture that wanted to recognize it as part of its ancestry. By evaluating the different functions performed by the intellectual work of recovering Roman law in the various legal systems that have done so, it notes that the traditional way of approaching Roman law leads to a simplistic and impoverishing view of our own past, and proposes a different approach, able to reinsert Roman law in the historical context of its formation.
