The German philosopher Manfred Frank challenges many of the fundamental assumptions of contemporary literary theory. The emphasis on language, Frank argues, ignores key arguments inherited from Romantic hermeneutics, those which demonstrate that interpretation is an individual activity never finally governed by rules.
