Cognition and translation. Experiments of the philosophy of language. Autonomova N.

The theme of “Cognition and Translation” accompanied the author all his life: from the university course on the translations of Shakespeare, through the “Words and things” of Foucault, published during the period of “stagnation”, to recent translations of work from the field of psychoanalysis and deconstruction. Therefore, “knowledge and translation” is a sphere of personal experience, in which there are many things - both practices, and reflection on the way, and comparison of the approaches to translation in different periods and in different countries.

Translation - the anthropological constant of human life and the condition for the possibility of cognition in the humanities; At the same time, this is not purely academic matter, but the sphere of passions and clashes. Why has the translation become a philosophical problem today? All this will be discussed in the book. There are two sections: the first - about cognition and language, the second - about translation as a reflective resource of understanding.

The book is designed for a wide range of readers who are interested in the history of knowledge, problems of philosophy, language, culture.
