Ratio litteraria
Ratio litteraria, vel theoria litterarum, sensu stricto est ordinatum naturae litterarum et rationum litterarum explicatarum studium. Litteraria autem eruditio ex saeculo undevicensimo saepe comprehendit—cum, vel adeo pro, ratione litteraria sensu stricto—res historiae intellectualis, philosophiae moralis, prophetiae socialis, et aliarum materiarum omnium disciplinarum quae ad modum quo homines significationem interpretantur pertinent. In hodiernis humanitatibus academicis, hic modus eruditionis est fructus rationis criticae, saepe igitur ratio vel theoria tantum appellatur. Ergo, vocabula ratio et theoria facta sunt nomina generalia variorum accessuum academicorum textuum legendorum. Multi ex his accessibus a variis philosophiae continentalis et sociologiae traditionibus informantur.

Scholae rationis litterariae 
Infra perscribuntur nonnullae ex latissime agnotis scholis rationis litterariae, cum earum auctoribus maioribus. Nonnulli autem auctores, inter quos insigniter Michael Foucault, historicus et philosophus, et Claudius Lévi-Strauss anthropologus, plerumque iudices litterarii non erant, sed eorum opera in ratione litteraria auctoritate gravia late fuerunt.

 Aestheticismus, saepe cum Romanticismo consociatus: philosophia quae aestimationem aestheticam definit finem primarium litterarum intellegendarum. Hic comprehenduntur iudices litterarios qui aestimationes aestheticas intellegere vel agnoscere conati sunt at eos qui, sicut Anscharius Wilde, artem artis gratiam expresserunt.
 Anscharius Wilde, Gualterius Pater, Haroldus Bloom
 Criticismus responsorum lectorum: activa lectoris responsa ad textum exprimit

 Iacobus Derrida, Paulus de Man, J. Hillis Miller, Philippus Lacoue-Labarthe, Gayatri Spivak, Avital Ronell

 Postmodernismus: iudicium condicionum saeculi vicensimi, saepe curam habens exsulum socialium (aliorum) habitorum
 Michael Foucault, Rolandus Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, et Mauritius Blanchot
 Poststructuralismus: variissimae sententiae rationales (sicut deconstructio) qui spes structuralismi ad rationalem scientiam culturae creandam per extentionem exemplaris linguisticae ad alias formationes discursivas et aestheticas iudicant vel praetereunt
