Abstract
This article discusses de problem of truth as it is presented within the discourse of Law. It contains arguments that point towards a "need for anthropology" in a scientific approach to solving problems under that which some call "the science of the law", or jurisprudence. To illustrate this argument, we utilize empirical data that support the necessity for a more ample and more scientific openess to the diverse within law's epistemology.

Sometimes it seems as if scientific knowledge in the social sciences must come with an asterisk
I will build on how Law and Anthropology have different methods and perspectives when defining ‘truth’ to show how the former would benefit from a connection to the latter when trying to assess and understand the experience of Brazilian citizenship
While the first requires from Law a more attentive look to ethnography and the complexity it can present, the second demands that Anthropology can understand its own role in the reification of societal values as it pertains to capitalism and its evergrowing structures
Summary
Sometimes it seems as if scientific knowledge in the social sciences must come with an asterisk. I will build on how Law and Anthropology have different methods and perspectives when defining ‘truth’ to show how the former would benefit from a connection to the latter when trying to assess and understand the experience of Brazilian citizenship.
