The Translation of Philosophical Terminology

After examining certain general characteristics of philosophical terminology which are important for the translation of the terms, the author studies the translation of philosophical lexis in a corpus of texts, highlighting the difference in treatment of technical terms & general lexis. A more detailed study of the corpus reveals complexities beyond that binary dichotomy. The author then aims to produce explanations for the translational practices which have been adduced. This necessitates exploring the social context in which the translated terms circulate. 13 References. Adapted from the source document
