I LIMITI DELL'INTERPRETAZIONE | I EDIZ. 1990 | UMBERTO ECO

This semiotic and hermeneutic essay collection confronts the boundaries of textual interpretation by exploring the constraints and freedoms inherent in reading. Eco scrutinizes excessive interpretative liberty, from Dante to Joyce and beyond, and introduces concepts like intentio operis and intentio lectoris to balance authorial intent with reader autonomy. His theoretical framework emphasizes contextual modeling and epistemic philology to avoid dogmatic or arbitrary readings—offering a refined methodology for responsible textual analysis rooted in semiotic rigor.
