This book delves into the ethical dimension of text and event interpretation, aiming to explore the underlying issue of interpreter intervention in the interpretation process. The author identifies this intervention as the ethical aspect of interpretation and argues that interpreters are neither neutral nor necessarily activists. Instead, they play a crucial role in shaping the interpretation outcome.
The author examines three models of interpretation, each recognizing the role of interpreters in the process. These models are:
The Principle of Charity: This model is defended by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Donald Davidson in two different versions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the intentions and perspectives of the interpreter in order to interpret the text in the most charitable and respectful way possible.
The Production of Truth: Developed by Paul Ricoeur and Michel Foucault, this model emphasizes the role of interpretation in the production of truth. It suggests that interpreters have the ability to shape the interpretation outcome by selecting certain aspects of the text and emphasizing them over others.
The Regulative Principle in Interpretation: This model is presented by Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas as formal validity claims and as benevolence or love as an epistemic virtue. It emphasizes the importance of interpreters acting in a morally responsible and ethical manner when interpreting texts.
The critical discussion of these three models brings to light the diverse ways in which interpreters intervene in the interpretation process as individuals. It lays the foundation for an ethics of interpretation, which aims to guide interpreters in their work and promote a more responsible and ethical approach to interpretation.
The Ethics of Interpretation will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in hermeneutics, 19th- and 20th-century philosophy, literary theory, and cultural theory. It provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the ethical dimensions of interpretation, offering valuable insights into the role of interpreters in shaping the interpretation outcome.
