Abstract

Footnotes 1 Contrast interpretation of history, being some general description or explanation of what has happened. This is not to be discussed in what follows. 2 As M. Levich has said: ‘It is easier to state what interpretation is not, than what it is; the notion is clearly in need of detailed unpacking’. History and Theory , IV , 1965 , p. 341 . 3 Regrettably little has been translated into English. A brief exposition of Friedrich Ast's, Outlines of Grammar, Hermeneutics, and Criticism (1808), and August Boeckh's, Encyclopedia and Methodology of the Philological Sciences (1877), which includes translations of crucial passages, is given by A. Child in his book Interpretation, a General Theory (University of California Publications in Philosophy, vol. 36, University of California Press, 1965), pp. 55–64. A fair account of Friedrich Schleiermacher's writing on hermeneutics is given by R. R. Niebuhr in his Schleiermacher on Christ and Religion (London: S.C.M. Press, 1965), pp. 77–92.
