Filosofía y traducción

Abstract

This paper addresses philosophy and translation in relation to the publication of the Vocabulaire européen des philosophies and its translation into several languages, in particular into Spanish. First, I deal with the relationship between philosophy and ordinary language: in my opinion, philosophy makes it possible to establish a community of discourse and action within the community of speakers of a language. Secondly, I examine three topics concerning philosophical translations: the public, the author’s role, and concepts. Thirdly, I examine three untranslatable terms: acedia, saudade, telos. In conclusion, I defend philosophical linguistic pluralism in the globalization of philosophy.
