Abstract
Zhang Jiang’s article “A Renewed Discussion on Imposed Interpretation” intends to return to the meta-question of hermeneutics and to further clarify the inherent motivations for imposed interpretation, and it can be taken as an effort of contribution to the theoretical basis for contemporary Chinese hermeneutics. However, this article fails to effectively solve the aporia of imposed interpretation, and its constructive strategies proposed appeared paradoxical. The future of hermeneutics is not only a linear development from deconstruction to construction, but also a presence with paradoxes mixed with construction and deconstruction, and the resulting hermeneutics presented as a paradoxical one implicated with the wisdom of “harmony without uniformity”.
