ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates issues that collect around the theme of identity and what identity represents, especially in relation to the Law, and at times when the Law and its legitimacy come under pressure. We do this by comparing key incidents in the situated lives of Socrates, from Athens, and Alex, a homeless person, from Wrexham; and ask questions about how their responses to these incidents situates them differently with regard to their views of life and death through being within the established order.
