i'm wondering how would Philip Cushman deal with this debate, since he advocates the interpretive turn, which is composed of (critical) hermeneutics and postmodernism (deconstruction). (2018-10-9)
To practice hermeneutics without a sharp focus on power, and
critical postmodernism without a
profound recognition of the inescapable moral
frame, is to practice them poorly. (Cushman, 2005a,
pp. 402-403) (Cushman, 2012)
