Erik writes: "Not at all, Richard, I agree. I´m not in 
favour of a constructivist
world, nor of solipsism. There has been an interesting 
discussion
between Rorty and Eco about interpretation and the book is 
called ´Over
interpretation´ if my memory serves me right."

Thanks for the lead. I find both Rorty and Eco very 
interesting, and since I am currently up to my ears in a 
project of trying to translate into English a very 
difficult Sanskrit text in which almost every sentence 
stubbornly refuses to yield its meaning without a fight, I 
am ripe for intelligent discussion about what is involved 
in interpretation.
