JOHN KEANE “More theses on the philosophy of history”
Kean rejects that there is always an intentionality claim
Different from Skinner, who focused on the ideas brought by the text which were initially recognized by the classical author, Kean points that, as he is an outsider, he can recognize some influences of the classical author that were not self-recognized.
Drives t the psychoanalysis level of interpretation the writings-author reality.
Denies the Skinner concept according to which “Language is a passive transfer to reality”, by saying that “Language is productive of realities”. Language is a plastic sheet in which words comes reality.
He denies the association between outsider position and unbiased analysis. By this, he denies the Skinner goal of interpreting the past works without “contaminating” it with ones own reality. To Keane, there’s no such thing.
