Abstract

This essay will most likely seem a big step removed from the usual disquisitions on translation theory. The apparent methodlessness of the author’s madness is twofold: he takes a cue from North American philosopher Charles S. Peirce contention that all signs becoming signs involve translation, which is to say that the semiosic process is coterminous with the process of translation, and (2) the author contextualizes the idea that translatability within the arena of postanalytic, postempiricist philosophy, that entails problems of translatability between theories, languages, and horizons (or paradigms) in the broadest possible sense.
