Produktbeschreibung

Paul Ricoeur is described in the "Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy "as "one of the leading French philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century." This little book collects his thoughts on the subject of translation, and is vintage Ricoeur. He uses the topic to reflect on some of the perennial problems posed by translation, including the transmission of early Greek philosophy to the Renaissance, interpretations of the Bible amongst diverse religious traditions (no small issue at the moment), and the way translations of the same text reflect important cultural dynamics at work across different periods, leading to quite different meanings springing from the same book. There are also discussions of some contemporary figures, such as Umberto Eco, and the whole underscored by Ricoeur's point that there is a paradox at the hear of translation: impossible in theory but effective in practice.

Rezensionen

'One of the most distinguished and prolific philosophers of his generation' - The Daily Telegraph

'Accessible and peppered with beautiful phrases, Ricoeur's is the kind of philosophical writing that provides an encounter with a feeling of transcendence and the sublime sometimes at odds with the philosophy it advocates' - M/C Reviews

'As should be evident from the foregoing, this slim volume packs an enormous quantity of important reflection on the process of translation and its two fundamnetal approaches: the translation of words and phrases or the interpretation of meaningful wholes' - Corrado Federici, Figures of Translation
