"The object of criticism cannot therefore be what the author meant by a text but what a text means in itself. Since in itself a text means what its constituents have ever meant, and since (according to deconstruction) no constituent is univocal, the text turns out to be the "crossroads" of all of its constituents' incompatible senses." (Alexander Nehamas, "The Postulated Author", p.136 from _Critical Inquiry_ Autumn, 1981) http://www.jstor.org/stable/1343210?seq=4

作者の死とカントのコペルニクス的転回 -> 存在論(ontology)から認識論(epistemology)へ
