Resumen de Found in Translation: A Phenomenology of Translation
Effective philosophical discussion requires an awareness of the nuances of language and the process of translating between different modes of communication. In this increasingly globalized academic forum, many feel that today’s linguistic challenges are more extreme than those of the past. Yet translation has been a necessary part of the work of philosophy for centuries, whether translating from Greek to Latin or German to Spanish. Because of this, I would like to explore the relationship between translation and philosophy by undertaking a phenomenology of translation. By investigating the way in which translation affects the growth of philosophers, we may be able to come to some understanding of how translation informs philosophy as a field and find out what qualities make a translation good.
