Reviews
Homo Interpretans is a most significant contribution to the theory of interpretation that at the same time rather uniquely demonstrates this theory's practical contemporary import and ongoing implications for daily life. The emphases that interpretation is not individual but social and also creative and enabling are additional signal assets. The book deserves separate commendation for its interdisciplinarity. -- George H. Taylor, Professor of Law, University of Pittsburgh This book is the most ambitious and most comprehensive new approach in the area of hermeneutics. -- Hans Joas, Ernst Troeltsch Professor for the Sociology of Religion at the Humboldt University of Berlin This well-researched and carefully argued book provides an ambitiously comprehensive and multi-leveled account of interpretation. Drawing on a wide variety of philosophical sources and on multiple disciplines of the natural and social sciences, Johann Michel renews the hermeneutic tradition by showing its relevance to an impressive range of contemporary practices. -- Richard Shusterman, Author of Surface and Depth: Dialectics of Criticism and Culture
