The existential crises involved in translation are part of our
political life, especially in times when the closing of borders
symbolized by Brexit and the triumph of Donald Trump, present new
challenges to those living lives of immigrancy and those waiting at
the borders. How to resist the emotive tide of populism and, in
particular, the language that legitimates exclusion? How to
confront the anxieties of inclusion? These challenges are
increasingly pressing. The 2016 Conference of the International
Network of Philosophers of Education sought to address such
concerns through the theme 'Philosophy as translation and the
understanding of other cultures'. The chapters included here
represent the breadth and richness of that conference, addressing
questions of ethics, desire, religious understanding, intercultural
philosophy, and practices of higher education and teacher
education. The processes of translation they discuss are not
limited to linguistic translation as conventionally understood.
Instead translation is taken to be a window through which to
understand how we, as linguistic beings, are constantly in a
process of transformation, and how our personal and cultural
identities are, hence, also already involved in processes of
translation. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Ethics & Education.
