解釋과 客觀性 : E.D. Hirsch. JR의 해석론 小考 AStudy on E.D. Hirsch = The Problem of Objectivity in Interpretation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

E.D. Hirsch has been one of the major theorists in American criticism since about 1957. His book, Validity in Interpretation, takes its place among the significant American works on the theory of interpretation. It challenges some of the most cherished assumptions that have guided literary interpretation for some four decades.
According to Hirsch's doctrine, the author's verbal intetnion must be the norm by which the validity of any interpretation is measured. As support for his general argument, he draws upon Husserl's notion of intentionality (Husserl's distinction between the intentional act and the object intended). He says that "The general term for all intentional object is meaning. Verbal meaning is simply a specal kind of intentional object, and like any other one, it remains self-identical over against many different acts which intend it. Verbal meaning, being an intentional object, is unchanging. The meaning is determined once and for all by the character of the speaker's intention."
He separates meaning(he equates it with the author's verbal meaning) from significance. He asserts that it is not the meaning of a text which changes, but its significance, which is the relation of the unchanging author's meaning to some other factor. Therefore, the objective of interpretation is not to find the significance of a text but to make clear its verbal meaning.
