The biological-mechanistic justice system in poetic-linguistic hermeneutics

ABSTRACT

The present text analyzes the biological-mechanistic justice system, understood as the hegemonic by Heideggerian poetic-linguistic hermeneutics. For that, it is used the critical essay, a more far-reaching form of thought than the dogmatic one of a methodology, as Adorno says. First, poetic-linguistic hermeneutics is presented, which demonstrates that on some occasions sedimented thoughts prevent the opening of perspectives for the radical reexamination of an issue. Not infrequently, Western thought is shaped by the perspective of conceptual metaphysics, which limits a given research toon the localization of essences and the search for categories to satisfy such cosmology. Next, it is showed that the conventional justice system is a medieval heritage with no solution of continuity in its conceptions to the present day in all its structuring formulations. In Modernity, it is permeated by vitalist and mechanistic theses with pretensions to justify it from a rational point of view. Such modern theses, although surpassed by science, continue to constitute an active paradigm of the contemporary justice system. Thus, it has been constructed as an algorithm, restricting human activity, creative and chaotic, to a mechanical function. The repercussion for the health-disease process is appreciable and should be investigated appropriately.
