The tension between the roles of authorial intention and the "text
itself" is a basic concern of contemporary hermeneutics.
Challenging much of the current thinking in the field, this volume
argues that the "text itself," in its various forms, is an
untenable criterion for correct interpretation, and through
compelling moral and epistemological arguments defends an
intentionalist approach to interpretation. After discussing the
shortcomings of earlier intentionalist theories, Irwin proposes a
new, normative approach, "urinterpretation," which is based on an
author construct, the "urauthor," that includes several elements
traditionally seen as separate from the author. The book closes
with a theoretical application of intentionalism to philosophical,
literary, and legal texts.
