Book Description

Dense and deep, complex and unique, this a significant scholarly reference work. The subject is philosophical terms in the European Continental tradition that resist or confound translation, as well as themes relating to the act of translating itself. Originally published in French in 2004, entries for 369 terms such as "polis," "Weltanschauung," sprezzatura, and "mimesis," for example, have been written by more than 150 contributors overseen by Cassin (Centre national de la recherche scientifique).
