Meaning, Understanding, and the Politics of Interpretation

Political summary of meaning, understanding, and interpretation: In his article "interpretation of politics: modernist turn of Spinoza", Berel Lang applies Spinoza's viewpoint to the explanation of the premise or proposal of the political framework - On the other hand, interpretation is a kind of politics. The main purpose of Spinoza's claim is to oppose the claim that "authoritative interpretation", meaning the meaning of sentences, may be determined by external authorities. Spinoza believes that it can not be forced to understand.

Critical interpretation of interpretation: development and research of the principles of interpretation (meaning of sentences can be interpreted as objects of art in the broadest sense, for example). I will deepen my understanding of something from another angle. In order to share the world, the author's "worldview" We must be able to interpret / interpret his / her information. Weltanschauung: Framework of ideas, ethics, beliefs, values. Through these, these values ​​are recognized and interpreted. Level 1: Text specific, Author of Weltenschauung. Level 2: Explain the sentences Weltenschauung gives its own culture. What does the text mean from its own cultural point of view? Level 3: How do you apply text for your own understanding? What does the text mean to you?

For Harman, the depth and meaning of the sentence is beyond the contribution of the author himself and is the responsibility of translation. "There are few authors who understand themselves, and correct readers can not only understand their own authors but also can transcend" ZH 6, 22: 10-12). However, understanding the author's opinion and intention without trying the possibility of text does not exclude the author's position. At least, the "transcendence" of the text contains the area, and if the author does not know it, the field is not irrelevant. The author's own unconscious operation and meaning. There are few authors who understand their texts, but few authors know about themselves. This is not the intention or opinion of the author but a picture of creation that more writers express expressions or delegate to translation.
