Today, pluralism is the paradigm. But are all approaches equally useful? What are their limits and possibilities? Can we practice them in isolation, or can we combine them? \u003ci\u003eModeling Interpretation and the Practice of Political Theory \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses these questions in a refreshing and hands- on manner. It not only models in the abstract, but also tests in practice eight basic schemes of interpretation with which any ambitious reader of political texts should already be familiar. Comprehensive and engaging, the book includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA straightforward typology of interpretation in political theory. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapters on the analytical Oxford model, biographical and oeuvre- based interpretation, Skinner’s Cambridge School, the esoteric model, reflexive hermeneutics, reception analysis and conceptual history. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal readings of \u003ci\u003eFederalist Paper No. 10 \u003c\/i\u003e, Plato’s \u003ci\u003eStatesman\u003c\/i\u003e, de Gouges’s \u003ci\u003eThe Three Urns\u003c\/i\u003e, Rivera’s wall painting \u003ci\u003eThe History of Mexico \u003c\/i\u003eand Strauss’s \u003ci\u003ePersecution and the Art of Writing\u003c\/i\u003e; with further chapters on Machiavelli, Huang Zongxi and a Hittite loyalty oath. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Epilogue proposing pragmatist eclecticism as the way forward in interpretation.
