Stanley Fish challenges the theoretical turn for its inability to formulate a general hermeneutics from within the limits of culture. “Theory begins and ends in interest and raises the imperatives of interest… to the status of universals.”1 In spite of neo-pragmatism’s insistence against “the idea of doing theory at all,”2 however, Terry Eagleton advises us in After Theory that rumors of the death of theory have been greatly exaggerated.
