This book could have been called What Is Hermeneutics? or The Meaning of Hermeneutics, for it is, among other things, a record of its author's own quest for an understanding of a term at once unfamiliar to most educated people and at the same time potentially significant to a number of disciplines concerned with interpretation, especially text interpretation. This study arose out of a more specific project concerning the significance of Bultmannian theory of biblical interpetation for literary theory, during which the need for some fundamental clarification of the development, meaning, and scope of hermeneutics itself became evident. The richly suggestive possibilities of general, nontheological hermeneutics (which actually is the basis for Bultmannian theory and that of the "new hermeneutic") led me to focus solely on the pretheological form of hermeneutics as it relates to theory of literary interpretation. - Preface
