Holism without Skepticism… Interpretation

BOHMAN, J.F. (1991) Holism without Skepticism: Contexualism and the Limits of Interpretation. In: D.R. HILEY, J.F. BOHMAN, and R. SHUSTERMAN (Eds.) The Interpretive Turn. Cornell University Press. pp129-154

“When called into question, interpretations must be supported by reasons, and it is a philosophical question when such claims are justified and if such issues can be settled rationally.” (p129)

Annotation:
Interpretation is founded on reasoning. In the average person their interpretation is not based on any philosophical high theory, rather on their own tacit knowledge, previous experience and socio-cultural and even religious predilections.
