ReviewsAn important and timely addition to the growing literature on hermeneutics. The collected essays encompass a wide-ranging spectrum of philosophical, scientific, and literary topics as they relate to the theory and strategy of interpretation. The format is tidy and consecutive, arranged in such a manner as to display the adventure of philosophical argumentation and critical dialogue, the movement from theses to rejoinders, always providing new contents for reflection. The editors of the volume are to be congratulated for their editorial design and the University of Massachusetts Press is to be commended for making this consequential work available to readers who want to develop their understanding of the nature and scope of hermeneutics., A lively, diverse, and, on the whole, rewarding contribution to the burgeoning interest in hermeneutic thought.

This collection represents both the best current works on the nature of interpretation and the necessity for such work to go beyond narrow disciplinary interests. Contributors to this collection are Emilio Betti, Anthony Giddens, Fred Dallmayr, W.H. Dray, Rex Martin, Paul de Man, Hans-Georg Gadamer, J. N. Mohanty, Hubert Dreyfus, Richard Palmer, Gerald Bruns, Gary Stonum, John O'Neill, and Gayatri Spivak., The collected essays in this volume encompass a wide-ranging spectrum of philosophical, scientific, and literary topics as they relate to the theory and strategy of interpretation.
