Description
Gary Iseminger's Intention Interpretation is a comprehensive collection of essays that explores the role of authorial intentions in literary interpretation. This debate has been ongoing for decades, with key figures such as E.D. Hirsch defending the appeal to author's intention against critics like William Wimsatt and Monroe C. Beardsley. The book delves into the presuppositions and consequences of arguing for the importance of author's intentions, connecting this issue to fundamental questions in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and aesthetics. The essays presented here offer a nuanced examination of the topic, including responses to Hirsch's argument against the "intentional fallacy". Readers interested in literary theory and philosophical debates will find Intention Interpretation a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions.
