Subject (DDC): 418.02: Translating and interpreting
Abstract: The present chapter considers how Aristotle’s concept of phronesis, in both its epistemic and ethical dimensions, can usefully inform current thinking about how future translators should be educated, and how their teachers can learn with them – experientially, collaboratively, ethically and co-emergently. We do not live in Aristotle’s world, so it is illusory to imagine we can directly apply his concept of practical wisdom to twenty-first century professional life and learning. However, it can serve as a useful starting point to conceptualize a fundamental aspect of knowledge-building that, for want of being known or adequately categorized, has been largely neglected in the discourse on translator competence and didactics.
