Translation studies: philosophical and law text

Abstract

The process of translation has a long-standing tradition and has been widely practiced throughout history. This research deals with the attempting to shed some light on the nature and development of translation law and philosophical texts with a view to giving some indication of the kind of work that has been done so far. Nowadays we have an increasing importance of legal and philosophical translation studies and they should be researched from as many angles as possible, since each methodology has a unique focus and capacity to look at a different facet of language. This reserach is an attempt to demonstrate that translation studies is a vastly complex field with many far-reaching ramifications.
