Description

Philip Wilson's study explores how reading Ludwig Wittgenstein's later philosophy can help translation theorists and practising translators reflect upon and improve their craft. Wittgenstein's work, which examines the nature of language and meaning, is surprisingly relevant to translation studies.

The book offers practical insights into the translation process, drawing on tools from Wittgenstein's philosophy such as the concept of the "language-game". Wilson demonstrates how these ideas can be applied to both literary and non-literary translations, using a range of examples and case studies.
