The work of the German philosopher Manfred Frank has profoundly
affected the direction of the contemporary debate in many areas of
philosophy and literary theory. This present collection, first
published in 1998, brings together some of his most important
essays, on subjects as diverse as Schleiermacher's hermeneutics,
the status of the literary text, and the response to the work of
Derrida and Lacan. Frank shows how the discussions of subjectivity
in recent literary theory fail to take account of important
developments in German Idealist and Romantic philosophy. The
prominence accorded language in literary theory and analytic
philosophy, he claims, ignores key arguments inherited from
Romantic hermeneutics, those which demonstrate that interpretation
is an individual activity never finally governed by rules. Andrew
Bowie's introduction situates Frank's work in the context of
contemporary debates in philosophy and literary theory.
