Texts about texts on texts. Book review of "O interpretacji" by Andrzej Szahaj

Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the book by Andrzej Szahaj, On interpretation. He points out that the ideas Shahaj proposed in the 1990s anticipated Polish reception of the ethical, political and cultural turn. Moreover, he argues that Szahaj’s neopragmatic approach can also be considered hermeneutical in the broad sense, opposed to the formal-structural-semiotic paradigm of modern literary criticism. From this point of view, the author undertakes criticism of Szahaj’s criticism of hermeneutics, in an attempt to prove that “in the text there exists something rather than nothing,” noting the variety of Szahaj’s cultural prejudices that affected his view of not only hermeneutics, but also, for example, of deconstruction. The essay is, however, intended as benevolent polemic or, in other words, “a family dispute.”
