Abstract
Este artículo comienza defendiendo un principio de individualismo procesal según el cual los significados son siempre subjetivos o intersubjetivos. Los textos no tienen significados por sí mismos, sino que más bien son objetos a los que los individuos atribuyen diversos significados. Luego el artículo despliega este análisis del significado para interrogar debates sobre la textualidad. Considera la estabilidad del texto: aunque los textos son indeterminados en el sentido de que individuos futuros pueden atribuirles a ellos significados imprevistos, tienen un contenido determinado en cualquier tiempo dado en el sentido de que los significados que la gente les ha atribuido en ese momento son fijos. Y considera la relación del significado textual con el significado del autor: ambos, autores y lectores, atribuyen significado a los textos, y surgenlas confusiones cuando los filósofos asumen que uno u otro debe constituir el significado del texto en sí mismo.
What is a Text? A Pragmatic Theory”. The paper begins by defending a principle of procedural individualism according to which meanings are always subjective or inter-subjective. Texts do not have meanings in themselves, but rather are objects to which individuals attach various meanings. Then the paper deploys this analysis of meaning to address debates about textuality. It considers the stability of the text: although texts are indeterminate in that future individuals might attach unforeseen meanings to them, they have determinate content at any given time in that the meanings people have then attached to them are fixed. And it considers the relationship of textual meaning to authorial meaning: authors and readers alike attach meanings to texts, with confusions arising when philosophers assume that one or other must constitute the meaning of the text itself.
