About this title

Synopsis

Hogan (English and comparative literature, U. of Connecticut) challenges theorists' assumptions about being and knowing which lead them into heated debates, but far away from conceptual and methodological clarity. He asserts a theory of meaning and interpretation, demonstrating it in the context of law, psychoanalysis, and literary criticism. His argument emphasizes interpretive objects and methods, and a variety of appropriate interpretations and meanings which the inquirer can employ within contexts a plea for postmodern rationality. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
