"Stecker is a key player in contemporary philosophical debatesabout interpretation. In his new book these debates aresystematically and even-handedly expounded and Stecker's owndistinctive position - a version of historicism and pluralism- defended with meticulous attention to detail. I wouldrecommend his book both to those entering the debates for the firsttime and to those already well engaged." Peter Lamarque,University of York "In characteristic fashion, Robert Stecker has written acarefully considered and well-crafted book. Interpretation andConstruction addresses key issues that have become the subjectsof lively debate. It is an important contribution that will be ofspecial interest to philosophers of art, literature, history, andlaw." Michael Krausz, Bryn Mawr College "Robert Stecker has thoughtfully and comprehensively advancedour understanding of 'interpretation,' skillfullysurveying historicist and constructivist approaches. Of specialinterest, he addresses both art and law, two seemingly disparateareas in which theories of 'interpretation' haveflourished, but have rarely been considered together." Julie C.Van Camp, California State University, Long Beach "Overall, the arguments are interesting, extremely careful, andcertainly make a significant contribution to the theory ofinterpretation. Not only does the book have much to offer toscholars, its arguments are easily accessible to students."Choice "Overall, the arguments are interesting, extremely careful, andcertainly make a significant contribution to the theory ofinterpretation.
