O absurdo da teoria do direito brasileiro em tempos de pandemia: conjecturas a partir da obra "A Peste", de Albert Camus

Abstract

The article analyzes the development of Brazilian legal theory, in the context of the COVID-19 Syndrome pandemic, in 2020, focusing on normative science, from the philosophical perspective of the absurd exposed in Albert Camus's work "The plague", ( 1913-1960). Since the beginning of 2020, the Brazilian State has been faced with the global problem of the erratic and accelerated contagion of the SARS-CoV2 virus. A large number of normative texts were edited, in all spheres of the federation, to justify public state action, in favor of legal social control. The constant clashes of power, added to the economic slowdown forced by social isolation, brought elements of distrust and denial of state action, even based on law. A similar situation is seen in Camus, in whom it can be seen that, in the face of an epidemic, the worst of individuals is exposed, as the social cohesion of solidarity is abandoned. The methodology used focuses on bibliographic research. The conclusion identifies the presence of the same negation present in the aburdo, already proclaimed by the Algerian thinker in the mid-twentieth century, which represents, in the public sphere, a threat to the continuity of democratic health.
