, as such, not all aspirations for and exercise of sovereignty should be seen as condemnable for their coercive power-seeking and control over persons, groups, or other human entities. Just as there is, for Paul Ricoeur, “good and bad subjectivity” in historiography, there is good and bad sovereignty
Interpretation and Its Objects
Studies in the Philosophy of Michael Krausz
Reihe:
Ediert von Andreea Deciu Ritivoi
This volume collects twenty-one original essays that discuss Michael Krausz’s distinctive and provocative contribution to the theory of interpretation. At the beginning of the book Krausz offers a synoptic review of his central claims, and he concludes with a substantive essay that replies to scholars from the United States, England, Germany, India, Japan, and Australia. Krausz’s philosophical work centers around a distinction that divides interpreters of cultural achievements into two groups. Singularists assume that for any object of interpretation only one single admissible interpretation can exist. Multiplists assume that for some objects of interpretation more than one interpretation is admissible. A central question concerns the ontological entanglements involved in interpretive activity. Domains of application include works of art and music, as well as literary, historical, legal and religious texts. Further topics include truth commissions, ethnocentrism and interpretations across cultures.

Thus, his notion of freedom has distinct spiritual as

Should history, then, amount to subjectivity alone or, for that matter, inter-subjectivity? Such a radicalism could

We eavesdrop on his memories of Berlin critics: “Robert Walser, you began as a clerk and a clerk you’ll always be!” And learn why he abandoned writing: “I simply could not find a motif … I had written myself dry. Burned out like an oven.” Walser laments the subjectivity of
