Before the Law

“Before the law sits a gatekeeper”. First sentence with that Kafka begins the parable inserted in his novel The Trial. Frantz Kafka is one of the most admirable writers because he studied law but was faithful to a coherence very difficult to achieve when you believe in law. That coherence was find the “reductio ad absurdum” of understand the problem that means the existence from a deontic paradigm. “To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law. But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment. The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on. “It is possible,” says the gatekeeper, but not now.” The same reality that the right to rejects and which is approaching prophylactically with latex gloves, is that which gives it the possibility to be. But the possibility to be, is distorted because it enters to the procedural system through “procedural truth”. The big fallacy is deontic conversion of reality by the proof which is the foundation of this truth. Then, is by the “procedural truth” that in real trials is builds a virtual reality with the items that meet the requirements of a proof. Justice for this man or who do not travel the deontic halls is presented as an impossible, because the “procedural truth” is not necessary equal to the real truth. “I am powerful.-says the gatekeeper to the man- And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper. But from room to room stand gatekeepers, each more powerful than the other. I cannot endure even one glimpse of the third.”  Achieve justice through the law creates a recursion on itself, like a fractal. Thus a pure deontic logic is a fallacy as a mechanism for justice. “The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, Here no one else can gain entry, since this entrance was assigned only to you. I’m going now to close it.” The problem is that justice can only exist in the world of what must be, because it is never, therefore it is always sought and returns to the man at the gates law, and before the law sits a gatekeeper…
