Josiah Royce on Interpreting Other People
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
On "The Problem of Christianity," vol. 2, lecture 12, ch. 9, "The Will to Interpret."
The point is to help explain Royce's idea of a community of interpretation, and the idea is that in the very act of interpreting a single individual, I'm bringing in some kind of public lexicon, i.e. other people beyond us two. Even though other people are fundamentally separate from us, we make some sort of leap that is the foundation of community: the will to interpret you as if your mind were accessible to mine.
