"Hermeneutics"
Encyclopedia Articles 1728-1993. Six Historic Descriptions. This is a translation project from
the German for which I have five of the six texts in hand but not the time to
do the translating and to write analytic introductions. These articles offer a
glimpse of how hermeneutics was conceived in 1728, 1828, 1900, 1960, 1973, and
1987. A seventh article, if it is permitted to be published here, will be my
own contribution ["Hermeneutics"] to the 3rd edition of the Princeton
Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics (see article data below).
Hermeneutics Compendium:
A Six-Volume Historical Anthology of Hermeneutics. A long-term project for which I
have collected 5,000 pages of materials. I presented the basic contents of each
volume in a 1980 article,""Allegorical, Philological,
and Philosophical Hermeneutics: Three Modes in a Complex Heritage," listed
under Articles below. This offers an overview of this project.
Hermeneutics and Postmodernity: Selected Essays: 1972-95. A sequence of my articles on
Postmodernity.
Heritage of
Hermeneutics: Selected Essays, 1976-98. A set of ten of my essays published in recent years.
It awaits a comprehensive introduction and editorial review of the
essays. It will also include an essay on Derrida and Gadamer
as interpreters of Heidegger and another on Gadamer
and Derrida as interpreters of Paul Celan. See my list
of articles for data on these two essays as published articles.
