商品簡介
Writing for students of philosophy, literary and critical theory, anthropology, and cultural history, Iser (comparative literature, U. of Konstanz, Germany and English, U. of California, Irvine) elucidates the mechanics by which we translate and understand, and assesses the anthropological roots of our drive to make meaning. He determines that interpretation is dependent upon what one seeks to interpret, be it the exegesis of a Rabbinical text, the history of one's country, the psyche, or a complex culture or system.
