> A "correct interpretation" of a book written by a dead author is, in essence, an oxymoron. I would argue that this point is not debatable. No, its not an oxymoron, any more than "correct interpretation" is always an oxymoron; a living author doesn't even necessarily make it easier to identify the correct interpretation, since individuals are not static, and the author's preferred interpretation at a later time may not reflect their intent when they wrote the text. |
