초록

This paper gives an analytic account of John D. Caputo’s theological hermeneutics on ‘event,’ which defines postmodern theology as the theology of event in a radical way. John D. Caputo is known as a Derridean theologian working on postmodern deconstructive theology. Postmodern thinkers have developed various ways of hermeneutics on the eventiality of event in place of modern metaphysical meta-narratives, and they try to reconstruct the philosophy (theology) of event in light of simulacre,possibility, alterity, poetics, excess, and deconstruction. John D. Caputo,adopting the productive results of postmodern account of event, attempts to systematize it in the direction of deconstructive hermeneutics of event.
Also he suggests a theological necessity to revise traditional strong theology in relation to the theology of event. This paper can be divided into three parts: first, the paper explains Caputo’s hermeneutics of event with respect to its relation with the divine name. Second, the paper draws on Caputo’s notions of the evential characteristics asking how Caputo theologically develops Derrida’s différance and ‘weak theology.’ In this part the paper also displays a political-ethical implication of Caputo’s deconstructive hermeneutics of event. Third, under the title of ‘the impossible and poetics’ the paper shows how Caputo relates deconstructive event to the divine Kingdom in that events bring the impossible into the world as a messenger of Kingdom, and it deals with the reason to take theo-poetics instead of theo-logics since he sees it as a most appropriate way to express the alterity of the Kingdom.
