[(The Range of Interpretation)] [By (author) Wolfgang Iser] published on

by Wolfgang Iser

There is a tacit assumption that interpretation comes naturally, that human beings live by constantly interpreting. While such a basic human disposition makes interpretation appear to come naturally, the forms it takes, however, do not. In this work, Iser offers a fresh approach by formulating an "anatomy of interpretation" through which we can understand the act of interpretation in its many different manifestations." "For students of philosophy, literacy and critical theory, anthropology, and cultural history, Iser's elucidation of the mechanics by which we translate and understand, as well as his assessment of the anthropological roots of our drive to make meaning, will undoubtedly serve as a revelation.
