Abstract
The opinion is held that every theory of interpretation as well as every interpretive praxis necessarily depends on presuppositions about the conceptions of ‘literature’, ‘literature criticism’, ‘text’, ‘meaning’, and ‘understanding’. Every scholarly discourse on literary interpretation should therefore produce an explication of these concepts. This explication is elaborated in the framework of an empirical science of literature via the epistemological and semantic basis of biological constructivism. Interpretation is conceived as the construction of relations between received text meanings and cognitive experiences or frames of reference. Interpretations cannot be and, above all, should not be subjected to criteria of scientificity: instead they should serve social needs of moral, cognitive, and emotional orientation and identity. Interpretations should make use of rational argumentation as much as possible, yet no argument can prove the truth or objectivity of whatever global interpretive hypothesis.
