interpretation is the only game in town
A game has its set of rules, but strategy is unique. Therefore, interpretation is "strategy". In other words, everyone will view the text differently, but these interpretations will all connect with each other.
. The lack an interpretation supplies must be related to the criteria
Not all interpretations will make sense? What determines this?
What is the reader doing? What is being done to him? For what purpose?–questions that follow necessarily from the assumption that the text is not a spatial object but the occasion for a temporal experience.
These questions seem to focus on structure and writing style. Which in theory can help you understand why it was written, etc. However, is the way writing is presented an indicator for developing an interpretation? Wouldn't a reader still be connected to their personal views?
The point is that while there is always a category of things that ‘are not done (it is simply the reverse or flip side of the category of things that are done), the membership in that cate gory is continually changing. It changes laterally as one moves from subcommunity to subcommunity,
There are some rules as to how to annotate for instance. There may be rules for how to dissect a passage to understand its meaning. However, "the reverse or flip side of the category of things that are done" usually occurs, and so it adds to interpretation as being endless non-restricting.
but the real question is what gives us the right so to be right.
You can only define yourself as right if the text can support what you have extracted from the text.
The truth lies plainly in view, available to anyone who has the eyes to see; but some readers choose not to see it and perversely substitute their own meanings for the meanings that texts obviously bear.
This makes no sense! So is there a spectrum of incorrect interpretation? The audience is not necessarily ignorant, not everyone will understand what the author mean to say
disagreement can only be a theological error.
Theology is the study of religious faith, practice, and experience(according to Merriam Webster).
disagreements must occur between those who hold (or are held by) different points of view, and what is at stake in a disagreement is the right to specify what the facts can hereafter be said to be.
In theory, this is what interpretation is defined as... readers understand through their lens
Interpretation
Interpretation is general. What is it?
