Resumo

Neste artigo, analiso os eventos que cercam o falso messias Sabbatai Sevi. Argumento que esse fenômeno, juntamente com outros exemplos de falso messianismo, constitui um recurso crucial para o judaísmo, uma corrente secundária anarquista que serve para minar as certezas que, de outra forma, levariam ao arquisismo, um sistema de dominação e opressão baseado em pressupostos sem fundamento na verdade. Contrasto as interpretações do sabatismo feitas por Gershom Scholem, um estudioso que via Sevi como uma força de negação que, em última instância, conduzia a práticas concretas, com a concepção mais radical de negação de Walter Benjamin, que impede permanentemente o devir algo além da dúvida. Enquanto a leitura de Scholem, argumento, perpetua o arquisismo, a leitura de Benjamin é anarquista.
