On Translation Reviews

'One of the most distinguished and prolific philosophers of his generation' - The Daily Telegraph

'Accessible and peppered with beautiful phrases, Ricoeur's is the kind of philosophical writing that provides an encounter with a feeling of transcendence and the sublime sometimes at odds with the philosophy it advocates' - M/C Reviews

'As should be evident from the foregoing, this slim volume packs an enormous quantity of important reflection on the process of translation and its two fundamnetal approaches: the translation of words and phrases or the interpretation of meaningful wholes' - Corrado Federici, Figures of Translation


'One of the most distinguished and prolific philosophers of his generation.' - The Daily Telegraph
