Αναζητώντας ψήγματα αλήθειας σε έναν μύθο.

Abstract

The main objective for this writing is a walk in the work of Cervantes: Don Quixote, through the eyes of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, and in particular from the perspective given in his book "The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences" in order to speak on “difference” and the ecosystem that this dictates.

Our ecosystem, which surrounds us and within which we act, interact with other subjects, socialize through a multiplicity of activities, an ecosystem which we ultimately transform through our actions, is directly related to the cognitive potential of each subject.

In this paper, we will seek to outline the "personality": Don Quixote, a question about the "Myth[?] of charisma" — we would rather say: the specificity attributed to particular subjects with certain characteristics. The peculiarity now in turn implies the deviation from regularity, from a regularity considered such by the density of the occurrence of the cases that shape it; so a set of subjects deviating from it, as a special case, is immediately considered special and different, accompanied by the relevant implications.
