"Stecker is a key player in contemporary philosophical debates about interpretation. In his new book these debates are systematically and even-handedly expounded and Stecker's own distinctive position – a version of historicism and pluralism – defended with meticulous attention to detail. I would recommend his book both to those entering the debates for the first time and to those already well engaged." Peter Lamarque, University of York "In characteristic fashion, Robert Stecker has written a carefully considered and well-crafted book. Interpretation and Construction addresses key issues that have become the subjects of lively debate. It is an important contribution that will be of special interest to philosophers of art, literature, history, and law." Michael Krausz, Bryn Mawr College "Robert Stecker has thoughtfully and comprehensively advanced our understanding of ‘interpretation,’ skillfully surveying historicist and constructivist approaches. Of special interest, he addresses both art and law, two seemingly disparate areas in which theories of ‘interpretation’ have flourished, but have rarely been considered together." Julie C. Van Camp, California State University, Long Beach "Overall, the arguments are interesting, extremely careful, and certainly make a significant contribution to the theory of interpretation. Not only does the book have much to offer to scholars, its arguments are easily accessible to students."
