Reviews
Thom's framework is important and along the right lines. Anyone interested in interpretation should give careful consideration to these views. * British Journal of Aesthetics *
This is a very lucid and precise text, which is richly textured with illuminating and intriguing discussions of examples from painting, theatre, music, opera and the sciences. I would recommend it as a text for undergraduate courses on Interpretation -and I would have all teachers read chapter 3!> -- Jennifer A. McMahon * Australasian Journal of Philosophy *
This book is suitable for those with an interest in the performing arts and are looking for a general theory that provides a conceptual framework by which to assess different performative interpretations of a piece of work. * Philosophy in Review *
