Intro -- Preface -- Introduction -- Chapter 1: Does Joseph Margolis's Defense of Relativism Fall into an Impasse? -- Chapter 2: From Humpty Dumpty to James Joyce: Donald Davidson's Late Philosophy and the Question of Intention -- Chapter 3: A New Look at Hermeneutic Criticisms of Intentionalism -- Chapter 4: Richard Rorty's Pragmatist Challenge to Intentionalism -- Chapter 5: Conclusions: How to Be a Pluralist without Being a Relativist -- Bibliography -- About the Author.

Summary: Relativism and Intentionalism in Interpretation: Davidson, Hermeneutics, and Pragmatism applies a rich philosophical perspective to questions central to the interpretation of art. Puolakka uses discussions of the relativity of interpretations to demonstrate that the pluralistic attitude towards art that characterizes pragmatism and hermeneutics can be combined with a view stressing the role of authorial intentions. Academics concerned with the philosophy of art and aesthetics will find unique and worthwhile contributions to the study here.
