Summary
An interpretation is an engagement with something in which an agent is committed to working out, developing, and refining one of the possible ways of making sense of it. Interpretation involves addressing something as something, or putting it to use as something. In an interpretive commitment to a possibility, an agent develops a prior understanding by applying it in a specific situation.
