Abstract

The present text analyzes the biological-mechanistic justice system, understood as the hegemonic, by Heideggerian poetic-linguistic hermeneutics. For this, it’s used the critical essay, a more far-reaching form of thought than the dogmatic one of a methodology, as Adorno says. At the outset it’s presented poetic-linguistic hermeneutics, 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 research to the localization of essences and the search for categories to satisfy this cosmology. The following it’s 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, to restrict human activity, creative and chaotic, to a mechanical function. The repercussion for the health-disease process is appreciable and should be investigated appropriately.
