Dictionary of untranslatables : a philosophical lexicon
2014
Books
This is an encyclopedic dictionary of close to 400 important philosophical, literary, and political terms and concepts that defy easy - or any - translation from one language and culture to another. Drawn from more than a dozen languages, terms such as Dasein (German), pravda (Russian), saudade (Portuguese), and stato (Italian) are thoroughly examined in all their cross-linguistic and cross-cultural complexities. Spanning the classical, medieval, early modern, modern, and contemporary periods, these are terms that influence thinking across the humanities.
