Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. Dust jacket shows the slightest signs of shelf wear only, no tears. 235 pages. Hermeneutic theory challenging entrenched epistemological and ontological assumptions across interpretive disciplines, arguing that interpretive method fundamentally employs ordinary inferential reasoning continuous with physical sciences theory construction rather than specialized humanities methodology, rejecting cultural-historical relativism while acknowledging multiple valid interpretive approaches and meanings through contextual stipulation, maintaining that all meanings derive from varieties of intention (authorial, readerly, conscious, unconscious) with no nonintentional Platonic, social, or essential meanings, applying framework to practices and goals of legal interpretation, psychoanalytic analysis, and literary criticism while drawing on analytic philosophy often ignored by poststructuralist discourse.

1st Printing. 235 pages. Published in 1996. Book-length account on subject. One of the finest accounts on not just one but three major areas of interpretation (the law, psychoanalysis, and literature) ever written. The First Hardcover Edition. Published simultaneously with the Softcover Edition in a small and limited print run by a University Press. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Patrick Colm Hogan's "On Interpretation: Meaning And Inference In Law, Psychoanalysis, And Literature". Literary theory par excellence. "Challenges a number of entrenched assumptions about being and knowing that have long kept theorists debating at cross purposes. He sets forth a theory of meaning and interpretation and then develops it in the context of the practices and goals of the law, psychoanalysis, and literary criticism. Hogan argues that the basis of interpretive method is ordinary inferential reasoning. There is no general methodological difference between interpretation in the humanities and theory construction in the physical sciences. Furthermore, the nature of interpretation does not entail cultural, historical or other forms of relativism, as is commonly thought. However, this does not imply that there is only one way of approaching interpretation or that there is one true meaning of any particular work. Rather, there are many kinds of interpretation and many kinds of meaning, and the interpreter is free to stipulate one of these in the context of a particular inquiry. To illustrate the range of applications of his theory, Hogan considers legal decisions in the United States, distinguishing a range of meanings far broader than that explicitly recognized by legal theorists. He also draws on the philosophy of action, cognitive science, and psychoanalytic theory to extend his general interpretive principles" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Modern First and contemporary literature collectors. This University Press title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant literary historians/theorists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PATRICK COLM HOGAN TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0820317241. Seller Inventory # ABE-1767671882151
