Opis

Building on the interpretive stases from the ancient Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, Arguing over Texts presents a method for analyzing the types of disagreement people have over textual meaning and the lines of argument they use to resolve those disagreements in various contexts, including law, politics, religion, history, and literary criticism.

Recenzje

The time is ripe for this book. Arguably, the interpretive stases underpin the whole humanistic enterprise of hermeneutics, including literary theory and reception theory. Camper draws from political, literary, and religious texts, some quite timely, some dealing with quite contentious issues (such as race and gender), and all insightfully analyzed. Students and scholars alike will find it a lively and useful book.
