It analyzes the attributions of the police sort to the light of the philosophical thought, reflecting the search for the knowledge on the part of the detective/artistic spectator, in one intrigues. Being based on the Theory of the Knowledge of Hegel and on contributions of thinkers as Walter Benjamin, it raises as central corpus the film Zodiac of David Fincher (2007). From its object of study it verifies that the police sort allows reflections (inside of a Metaphysical order) much more complex of what the imagined one.
