About Interpretation (American University Studies Series V, Philosophy)

«About Interpretation» is an anthology of key writings in hermeneutics from Plato to Dilthey. The collection is divided into four sections: allegorical, reformation, romanticist, and historicist hermeneutics. Each section is introduced, with suggestions for further reading.
By presenting the background to hermeneutic controversies today, the book represents an ideal companion for courses in hermeneutics offered by departments of Philosophy, Literature, Religion, Social Science or Theology.
