Description

Explore the deep connection between Eastern philosophy and Western linguistic theory with The Dao of Translation: An East-West Dialogue. This volume from the Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies series examines the fundamental nature of language and the hidden forces that influence the translation process. By examining two distinct interpretations of the Daodejing, this book offers a unique perspective on how meaning is transferred across cultures. It compares the traditional mystical reading, which views the Dao as an unknowable force, with the contemporary analysis provided by Sinologists Roger T. Ames and David L. Hall. In their reading, the Dao represents the way things happen, providing a new framework for understanding linguistic shifts. This text is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in how different philosophical traditions shape our understanding of translation. It provides a scholarly dialogue that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern interpreting studies, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on words, language, and grammar.
