Words and the World: Reflections on the Possibility of Hermeneutical Realism

Words and the World: Reflections on the Possibility of Hermeneutical Realism

  • Technical
  • Joshua Appel

This article looks at the theory of deconstructionism and its emphasis on subjectivism (the meaning rests with the reader) and the theory of authorial intention and its emphasis on objectivism (the meaning rests with the intentions of the author). The author disusses the impact these two theories have on hermeneutics, and proposes an alternative.

Christianity knows nothing of hopeless cases. It professes its ability to take the most crooked stick and bring it straight, to flash a new power into the blackest carbon, which will turn it into a diamond Alexander Maclaren
