What do our assumptions about authorship matter for our experience
of meaning? This book examines the debates in the humanities and
social sciences over whether authorial intentions can, or should,
constrain our interpretation of language and art. Scholars assume
that understanding of linguistic and artistic meaning should not be
constrained by beliefs about authors and their possible intentions
in creating a human artifact. It is argued here that people are
strongly disposed to infer intentionality when understanding oral
speech, written texts, artworks, and many other human actions.
Although ordinary people, and scholars, may infer meanings that
diverge from, or extend beyond, what authors intend, our experience
of human artifacts as meaningful is fundamentally tied to our
assumptions of intentionality. This challenges the traditional
ideas of intentions as existing solely in the minds of individuals,
and formulates a new conceptual framework for examining if and when
intentions influence the interpretation of meaning.
