Michael Krausz is Milton C. Nahm Professor of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College.

“Interpretation is as irritating as it is fascinating. To think
that a work like Hamlet or The Upanishads has only one correct
interpretation seems arrogant. To allow more than one brings us
perilously close to contradiction. This collection brings together
a series of searching and subtle papers that illuminate the
metaphysical, epistemological, phenomenological, and
action-theoretical facets of interpretation, providing resources
for a more nuanced understanding of interpretation and its
objects.”—Catherine Z. Elgin,Harvard University
“It is hard to think of a single work that explains so clearly what
these issues are and why they are important. The scholarship is
excellent, and the introductory material is especially clear.
Highly recommended for all collections.”—J. White CHOICE
“However, the volume has come into being, the essays are
well-written and pleasant to read.Krausz as editor, and as an
author whose writings are well-known in this area, offers the
reader what must be a difinitive presentation of the current range
of views on the subject.”—Thora Ilin Bayer American Catholic
Philosophical Quarterly
