Hermeneutics and criticism explores the status of ideals in contemporary society. It demonstrates how ideals have become less meaningful over time, and questions the role of critical theory in their decline. To unpick the relationship between hermeneutics, ideals, and criticism, the book reengages the traditional methods of dialectic and rhetoric. It challenges the claims of recent critical theory, such as the ontological turn and new materialism/realism, that reality can be speculated upon aside from ideals. The author argues that speculation on reality without ideals becomes self-fulfilling; the more that conceptions of reality are detached from ideals, the more disaffirming those understa...

By compiling an experimental method combining both dialectic and rhetoric, ‘Dialectic, Rhetoric and Contrast: The Infinite Middle of Meaning’ demonstrates how singular meanings can be rendered in a spectrum of 12 repeating concepts that are in a continuum, gradated and symmetrical. The ability to arrange meaning into this pattern opens enquiry into its ontology, and presents meaning as closer to the sensation of colours or musical notes than the bivalent oppositions depicted in classical logic. However, the experiment does not assert that this pattern suggests some sort of constant or absolute principle; instead, it theorises on the ways in which meaning can be considered to be recursive...
