The article aims to analyze the thematic approach of the of forgiveness's pathos by Nietzsche and Derrida, connecting both authors through the theoretical aspect of extra-morality of forgiveness. We sustained that both Nietzsche and Derrida explain the forgiveness's pathos, on the one hand, from a horizon in which calculation or normalization is not more adequate, in order to investigate forgiveness, insofar as forgiveness has to be situated beyond moral, juridical, religious, or even punitive justice sphere; on the other hand, both of them take distance from a reconciliatory tradition in favor of a differentiation's praxis. For this goal, the text goes through two movements: on the one hand, we explain how Nietzsche works up the issue, emphasizing the argumentative strategy of genealogy and the figure of thought of the sovereign individual and, on the other hand, the Nietzschean inheritance for Derrida and approximations of the Algerian Philosopher with the forgiveness theme.
