Abstract:For seven decades, professors of literature have considered referral to an author's intentions to be theoretically out of bounds, while in practice they do it all the time. I suggest that one reason for this undesirable gap between theory and practice is that, for literary scholars, the notion of intention itself is poorly understood. Authorial intention is thought of as single, simple, rationally generated, and preexisting in the author's mind rather than the multiple, complex, and process-based phenomenon that it is. In this essay I provide a bottom-up account of intention with the aim of dispelling this misunderstanding.
期刊介绍:
For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
