Resumo

O presente artigo pretende examinar a noção de “justiça hiperbólica” de John Caputo considerando a sua crítica à filosofia heideggeriana. Em Demythologizing Heidegger (1993), Caputo tenta desconstruir a narrativa de Martin Heidegger em torno do ser do Dasein como Sorge, como ser-para-a-morte na sua existencialidade, facticidade e queda, não rejeitando esse relato, mas mostrando que ele é fissurado por uma ausência, a ausência de kardia (coração), da carne, da incapacidade e da aflição. Segundo Caputo, a estética do Ser de Heidegger e sua preocupação em superar o esquecimento do Ser deixaram-no escandalosamente alheio ao grito do outro sofredor. Contra Heidegger, Caputo opõe o que chama de “imaginação profética” de Emmanuel Levinas, Jean-François Lyotard e, particularmente, Jacques Derrida. Procurarei examinar o modo como Caputo se opõe a Heidegger a "indestrutibilidade da justiça" de Derrida, recorrendo no mesmo lance à "justiça hiperbólica" de Levinas.
