Paul Ricoeur was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. In this short and accessible book, he turns to a topic at the heart of... much of his work: What is translation and why is it so important? Reminding us that The Bible, the Koran, the Torah and the works of the great philosophers are often only ever read in translation, Ricoeur reminds us that translation not only spreads knowledge but can change its very meaning. In spite of these risk, he argues that in a climate of ethnic and religious conflict, the art and ethics of translation are invaluable. Drawing on interesting examples such as the translation of early Greek philosophy during the Renaissance, the poetry of Paul Celan and the work of Hannah Arendt, he reflects not only on the challenges of translating one language into another but how one community speaks to another. Throughout, Ricoeur shows how to move through life is to navigate a world that requires translation itself. Paul Ricoeur died in 2005. He was one of the great contemporary French philosophers and a leading figure in hermeneutics, psychoanalytic thought, literary theory and religion. His many books include Freud and Philosophy and Time and Narrative.

Klassiker aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: -, - (-), Veranstaltung: -, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract:... Liebster Vater, Du hast mich letzthin einmal gefragt, warum ich behaupte, ich hätte Furcht vor Dir. Ich wusste Dir, wie gewöhnlich, nichts zu antworten, zum Teil eben aus der Furcht, die ich vor Dir habe, zum Teil deshalb, weil zur Begründung dieser Furcht zu viele Einzelnheiten gehören, als dass ich sie im Reden halbwegs zusammenhalten könnte. Und wenn ich hier versuche Dir schriftlich zu antworten, so wird es doch nur sehr unvollständig sein, weil auch im Schreiben die Furcht und ihre Folgen mich Dir gegenüber behindern und weil überhaupt die Grösse des Stoffs über mein Gedächtnis und meinen Verstand weit hinausgeht. Dir hat sich die Sache immer sehr einfach dargestellt, wenigstens soweit Du vor mir und, ohne Auswahl, vor vielen andern davon gesprochen hast. Es schien Dir etwa so zu sein: Du hast Dein ganzes Leben lang schwer gearbeitet, alles für Deine Kinder, vor allem für mich geopfert, ich habe infolgedessen „in Saus und Braus" gelebt, habe vollständige Freiheit gehabt zu lernen, was ich wollte, habe keinen Anlass zu Nahrungssorgen, also zu Sorgen überhaupt gehabt; Du hast dafür keine Dankbarkeit verlangt, Du kennst „die Dankbarkeit der Kinder", aber doch wenigstens irgendein Entgegenkommen, Zeichen eines Mitgefühls; statt dessen habe ich mich seit jeher vor Dir verkrochen, in mein Zimmer, zu Büchern, zu verrückten Freunden, zu überspannten Ideen; offen gesprochen habe ich mit Dir niemals, in den Tempel [das ist Kindespflicht] ich wollte solche Erklärungen schreiben Milena, aber ich bringe es nicht über mich den Brief darauf hin noch einmal zu lesen, die Hauptsache bleibt ja verständlich bin ich nicht zu Dir gekommen, in Franzensbad habe ich Dich nie besucht, auch sonst nie Familiensinn gehabt, für das Geschäft und Deine sonstigen Angelegenheiten habe ich mich nicht gekümmert, die Fabrik habe ich Dir aufgehalst und D
