If identity was an exercise in metaphysics would not have the power that manifests itself in our recent history where most conflicts have mutated in identity conflicts. Or maybe the permanence of certain metaphysical forms due to mythical and metaphorical narratives that underlie because identity is bound by strong ties narrative.

Two of the stories are structuring identity myth of the fall, which speaks of personal identity, and the myth of the mystical body, which speaks collective identity, the condition of the individual as a member of the collective body. Social movements have become philosophical and metaphysical exercise in one of two myths: saving the subject from its condition of mud and / or deliver to the community it serves as a member. The body is presented as a prison, the community, as the subject lady and slave owner. There metaphysical violence in these stories that articulate almost the entire philosophy of the subject and of modern identity, including many allegedly critical philosophies have sought leave metaphysics.

Subjects in the mist escapes from the seduction of these myths. The work is the result of the author's rebellion against a philosophical time that coincided in rejecting any reference to the subject as if it were a body of the story. There is some account of identity of those who lived the dreams of modernity and postmodernity, until they were awakened by skepticism. It is also a proposal to find in the agency and the will that the lost consciousness and representation.
