Abstract

Primo Levi is one of the most widely read and translated surviving writers of World War II in the world. His texts leave important contributions to understand the phenomenon of fascism, in its various forms and times. The centrality of the experience of injustice is a fundamental theme for the survivor and decisive for the theory of law. This work intends to read Primo Levi’s testemonial work, seeking its repercussions on the themes of Justice, Law, Guilt, Judgment and Responsibility. By mobilizing thinkers like Reyes Mate, Giorgio Agambem, Nils Christie and Hannah Arendt, it will be possible to obtain a more complete view of this author’s relationship with the concept of justice and offer keys to rethink the Law in its courtform to respond to conflicts and violence, from a critique of the notion of individual responsibility.
