LA GIUSTIZIA IN PANNE. GIUSTIZIA E RELATIVITÀ NELL’OPERA DI FRIEDRICH DÜRRENMATT

Author's originality lay in two aspects of his approach. First, he focused his consideration on the legal rhetoric and the supremacy of words. He set the legal power on the art to discuss and justify although by staying in institutions, according to the evidence that the power of discourse is such so as does plausible a lie and convinces most people.
