Notable scholars of the [[Post-Structuralist]] [[tradition]] have often emphasized the self referential [[nature]] of all criticism. [[Stanley Fish]] argues that all [[interpretatio]]ns are [[subjective]] projections and have no inherent [[meaning]]; therefore, the critic undermines himself for he undermines only his own interpretation. Thus, concludes Fish, all criticism is self criticism.
