Terence Ball on Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 18 Interpretation/Ball: (...)interpretation is not an option but a necessity for the meaning-seeking creatures that we are. (...) my own ‘pluralistic’ and ‘problem-driven’ approach to the interpretation of texts in political theory[:] I want throughout to emphasize two points in particular: that not all interpretations are equally valid or valuable; and that interpretations are rationally criticizable and corrigible. Interpretation comes with the territory of being human. It is an activity from which humans cannot escape. Gaus I 19 Nor is there a neutral standpoint or Archimedean point from which to interpret and appraise any text, classic or otherwise. All interpretation implies, and originates in, some vantage point or standpoint. >Perspective, >Absoluteness. Ball, Terence. 2004. „History and the Interpretation of Texts“. In: Gaus, Gerald F. 2004.
