Translation As an Ethos in Ricoeur: From Theoretical-Cognitive to Ethical-Pragmatic Foundations
Paul Ricoeur is one of the few thinkers in the history of philosophy who has approached the practice of translation and its effects from a philosophical perspective. In Ricoeur, the theme of translation is the final stage of a trajectory of thought that follows phenomenology and hermeneutics. The treatment of language develops and expands at every step. As the final stage reached by Ricoeur's thought and philosophy, translation unfolds itself through concepts such as linguistic plurality, intra-linguistic and interlinguistic translation, linguistic hospitality, dialectics of betrayal and loyalty, mourning and remembrance. This is a new way of thinking about language, meaning, dialog, and truth. Our study aims to traverse this path through these concepts that stand at the center of Ricoeur's theory of translation, to move from its theoretical-cognitive foundations to its ethical-pragmatic foundations, and to make visible the ethos it carries at its core. For this purpose, the text wants to shed light on the fact that translation theory in Ricoeur can be considered as a model of existence to the extent that it serves to increase one's capacity to understand oneself, and as a model of recognition and interculturality to the extent that it makes one aware of and sensitive to the other.
