"In characteristic fashion, Robert Stecker has written a
carefully considered and well-crafted book. Interpretation and
Construction addresses key issues that have become the subjects
of lively debate. It is an important contribution that will be of
special interest to philosophers of art, literature, history, and
law." Michael Krausz, Bryn Mawr College
"Robert Stecker has thoughtfully and comprehensively advanced
our understanding of ‘interpretation,’ skillfully
surveying historicist and constructivist approaches. Of special
interest, he addresses both art and law, two seemingly disparate
areas in which theories of ‘interpretation’ have
flourished, but have rarely been considered together." Julie C.
Van Camp, California State University, Long Beach
"Overall, the arguments are interesting, extremely careful, and
certainly make a significant contribution to the theory of
interpretation. Not only does the book have much to offer to
scholars, its arguments are easily accessible to students."
