Summary/Abstract: The article presents a conception of the intention of the text, as developed by an Italian philosopher, Umberto Eco, and collates it with the interpretative paradigm in law. Since the conception of the intention of the text is neither complete, nor comprehensive, it has been supplemented with similar stances (Stanley Fish’s paninterpretationism and Roland Barthes’ idea of the death of the author) in order to attain a fairly systematic collection of thoughts that may provide the basis not only for presenting a new approach to interpretation, but also for showing the differences between the described conception and clarificative theory as well as derivative theory. The comparison is conducted in two aspects: firstly, situation of interpretation (i.e. when the interpretation is performed), and secondly – directives of interpretation (i.e. the procedure of interpretation).
