Abstract

Mr. Umberto Eco, a well-known Italian scholar and European public intellectual, has made great achievements in literature, art and aesthetics. Also, as an author of academic novels, he has explained his academic attainments. This paper takes the hermeneutics theory of Italian scholar Umberto Eco as the research object and focuses on his theoretical propositions such as "interpretation and over-interpretation" and "textual intention", and then the issues of "over-interpretation" and "usage" of text are put forward. This will help us to introspectall kinds of criticism under the background of post-modernism and bring order to the puzzling work from many readers, thus correct the chaotic phenomenon in the contemporary literary criticism.
