| Popis: | Textual interpretation is crucial to our knowledge about and understanding of conversations, laws, holy writings, political declarations, scientific texts, letters, poems, and so on. Many disagreements hinge on interpretive questions and raise epistemological questions about textual interpretations. Can interpretive statements be correct or incorrect, and if so, in virtue of what? Can interpretive beliefs amount to knowledge, or are matters of interpretation never factual? What does it mean to say that our ‘perspective’ determines our reading of a text, and how would that affect the justification of an interpretation? Can readers do justice to an author in their attempt to describe an author’s communicative aims? These and other debated questions are not only important in their own right, but also fundamental with respect to the epistemic status of interpretative practices, as, for example, we find them in the humanities. This dissertation develops an analytical account of the epistemology of textual interpretation, and engages with a wide array of philosophical positions in the fields of epistemology and hermeneutics. |
