Paul Ricoeur is described in the "Routledge Encyclopedia of
Philosophy "as "one of the leading French philosophers of the
second half of the twentieth century." This little book collects
his thoughts on the subject of translation, and is vintage Ricoeur.
He uses the topic to reflect on some of the perennial problems
posed by translation, including the transmission of early Greek
philosophy to the Renaissance, interpretations of the Bible amongst
diverse religious traditions (no small issue at the moment), and
the way translations of the same text reflect important cultural
dynamics at work across different periods, leading to quite
different meanings springing from the same book. There are also
discussions of some contemporary figures, such as Umberto Eco, and
the whole underscored by Ricoeur's point that there is a paradox at
the hear of translation: impossible in theory but effective in
practice.
