The philosophy of translation and translating philosophy
Keywords:
translation, meaning, coherence and integrity, philosophy, language, discourseAbstract
An attempt to answer the question ‘What makes translation possible?’ can be successful only if we postulate a domain of pure meaning, devoid of any language-related character, as an intermediate ground between source and target language expressions. The pure meaning concept is elaborated within the framework based on notions of ‘coherence’ and ‘integrity’. Results are applied to a proposed methodology of translation of philosophical texts.
