{"product_id":"recovery-of-the-measure-robert-cummings-neville-9780791400999","title":"Recovery of the Measure: Interpretation and Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The world is as we interpret it.\" Arguing that this assumption is a major and pervasive error, Neville demonstrates that the world is the measure of our interpretations. Distinguishing two traditions of hermeneutics, the continental tradition focusing on the interpretation of texts and the American tradition on the interpretation of nature; Neville argues that, since interpretation itself is part of the natural world, a philosophical vision of nature must be restored to currency in order to provide an interpretive theory of the world that can be a measure of interpretation. The natural world must be construed richly enough to be inclusive of human intention and purpose. By taking the discussion of hermeneutics from the context of textuality and placing it within that of nature, Recovery of the Measure provides a non-modernist and non-postmodernist theory of interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first four chapters and the last four constitute a hermeneutical theory addressing contemporary problems of interpretation situated in the context of the philosophy of nature. The middle chapters provide a compact philosophy of nature dealing with being, identity, value, space, time, motion, and causation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Cummings Neville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791400999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791400999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs","brand":"Robert Cummings Neville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096721203455,"sku":"9780791400999","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recovery-of-the-measure-robert-cummings-neville-9780791400999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
