ترجمة الفلسفة : قابلية المفاهيم الفلسفية للترجمة

الملخص EN

The translation of philosophical texts is essentially a philosophical work.

It is not only a work related to the technical character of translation, which aims to find the corresponding meanings between two different languages.

The nature of the philosophical language means that it does not consist of words that have a direct meaning only, so that it can be translated easily, according to the traditional methodological methods of translation science, its rules and mechanisms, but it also consists of concepts, those ideas stored in words, as Nietzsche says, meaning that their translatability needs to an integrated philosophical understanding.

Hence, the translation of a philosophical text is also a hermeneutical and philosophical activity.

It is a creative activity that works to reproduce philosophical ideas contained in concepts.

The connotations of the same philosophical concepts are not only different in various languages, but their theoretical intensity may be weakened, and their philosophical performance decline as well; because languages vary in the degree of conceptualization and representation with regard to conveying the intentions of the philosopher's perceptions and expressing the semantic content of the philosophical idea.

This means that the translation of the philosophical concept poses an epistemological problem related to the translatability of the concept itself and the possible linguistic alternatives to overcome this problem.
