Interpretation Theory: Discourse and the Surplus of Meaning
by Paul Ricoeur
Preface by Ted Klein

Expanded from lectures delivered in the fall of 1973 as part of Texas Christian University’s centennial celebration, Interpretation Theory marks the development of the text into a systematic and comprehensive theory that attempts to account for the unity of human language in view of the diverse uses to which it is put. Interpretation Theory offers Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy of integral language.
