This work examines the interpretation and products of intentional human behaviour, focusing primarily on issues in art, law, and everyday speech. The centerpiece of the book is the examination of two large scale views about the nature of interpretation: historicism and constructivism.

Interpretation and Construction examines the interpretation and products of intentional human behavior, focusing primarily on issues in art, law, and everyday speech.

Focuses on artistic interpretation, but also includes extended discussion of interpretation of the law and everyday speech and communication.
Written by one of the leading theorists of interpretation.
Theoretical discussions are consistently centered around examples for ease of comprehension.
