In the series "Theory and Method," works will be published that will represent or present the most significant contemporary trends in the field of text interpretation and criticism.

Through the selection of titles in this series - a selection that will be primarily determined by the identifiable specific needs of Greek critical theory and practice - an attempt will be made to present the Greek reader with a spectrum of theories, concepts, and interpretative models that have been put to the service of interpretation and criticism.

However, this does not mean that our goal is only the pluralistic information of the average reader, but also the enlightenment of those with more specific interests, and their acquaintance with the varieties of critical theory and philosophical method, and with the many -and often competing- critical languages.

This acquaintance could fill the gaps that may exist in their theoretical orientation and methodological reflection and equipment, as well as contribute to the gradual formation of a framework of fundamental principles that will enable the aspiring researcher to recognize and select their data.
