"Readings in Interpretation " -- a volume primarily on the texts
of Holderlin, Hegel, and their interpreter Heidegger--locates
itself strategically between literature and philosophy. In keeping
with this juxtaposition, it treats the question of
self-consciousness and reflection on the levels of "theme" and
"text." For both Hegel and Holderlin, selfconsciousness and its
relation to knowing are explicit themes, but Waminski's readings
show that a more disruptive reflection is operative on the level of
text.
In an argument that centers on the textual aspects of Hegel's
"Phenomenology of the Spirit," Warminski demonstrates that the
negative moment--which is often interpreted as a prelude to a
unified self-consciousness--cannot be accounted for by interpretive
models drawn from outside the text--by concepts like the self,
consciousness, or the subject. Instead, a completely different
practice and theory is necessary. The author's "Prefatory
Postscript" at the beginning of the book therefore serves as an
introduction to sketch the theoretical basis of the readings that
follow "and " as a "postscript" that explains the difference
between "reading" and "interpretation" which those readings make
necessary.
