Zusammenfassung:In this article I will consider John D. Caputo's hermeneutics of deconstruction or what he calls 'radical hermeneutics', with 'undecidability' as its major theme, in conversation with Martin Heidegger's notion of 'resolute existence'. Through an examination of the different positions of Caputo, Heidegger, and also Kierkegaard, Derrida and Meister Eckhart on the possibility of repetition, the hermeneutical circle and the mystical way of prayer and faith, I am arguing that deconstruction is not the end of hermeneutics, it is not the final destination of an interpretative task, and thus deconstructive hermeneutics has to concede a reconstructive process. Further, I am arguing that Caputo's 'radical hermeneutics' is too reductionist to keep any meaning for the hermeneutic enterprise to aspire to. I am contending, rather, that it is resolute existence that theology aspires to as it is a move beyond 'undecidability'.
