Book excerpt: This volume is a selection of papers presented at the international conference on Translation and Censorship. From the 18th Century to the Present Day, held in Lisbon in November 2006. Although censorship in Spain under Franco dictatorship has already been thoroughly studied, the Portuguese situation under Salazar and Caetano has been, so far, almost ignored by the academic research. This is then an attempt to start filling this gap. At the same time, new case studies about the Spanish context are presented, thus contributing to a critical view of two Iberian dictatorial regimes. However other geographical and time contexts are also included: former dictatorships such as Brazil and Communist Czechoslovakia; present day countries with very strict censoring apparatus such as China, or more subtle censorial mechanisms as Turkey and Ukraine. Specific situations of past centuries are given some attention: the reception of Ovid in Portugal, the translation of English narrative fiction into Spanish in the 18th century, the translation of children literature in Victorian England and the emergence of the picaresque novel in Portugal in the 19th century. Other forms of censorship, namely self-censorship, are studied in this volume as well. "The book fits in one of the most innovative fields of research in translation studies, i.e. the study of social and political constraints on translation processes and translation functions. More specifically, the concept of censorship is crucial to the understanding of these constraints, especially in spatio-temporal settings where translation exhibits conflicts between what is acceptable for and what is prohibited by a given culture. For that reason, detailed descriptive research is needed in as many situations as possible. It gives an excellent view on the complex mechanisms of censorship with regard to translation within a large number of modern European and non European cultures. In addition to articles devoted to cases dealing with China, Brazil, Great-Britain, Turkey, Ukraine or Czechoslovakia, Spain and Portugal occupy a prominent role. As a whole, the volume marks an important step forward in our growing understanding of the role of socio-political factors for the development and changes of translation policies. I highly recommend the publication." Prof. dr. Lieven D’hulst, Professor of Translation Studies at K.U.Leuven (Belgium).

Book excerpt: La Cr�tica de la raz�n pura (en alem�n: Kritik der reinen Vernunft) es la obra principal del fil�sofo prusiano Immanuel Kant Tuvo su primera edici�n en 1781. El propio Kant lleg� a corregirla, publicando en 1787 una segunda edici�n. En las publicaciones habituales de la obra son presentadas ambas ediciones simult�neamente, conocidas respectivamente como A y B. Se trata de una indagaci�n trascendental (acerca de las condiciones epist�micas del conocer humano) cuyo objetivo central es lograr una respuesta definitiva sobre si la metaf�sica puede ser considerada una ciencia. En esta obra, Kant intenta la conjunci�n de racionalismo y empirismo, haciendo una cr�tica de las dos corrientes filos�ficas que se centraban en el objeto como fuente de conocimiento, y as�, dando un giro copernicano al modo de concebir la filosof�a, estudiando al sujeto como la fuente que construye el conocimiento. En s�ntesis, La Cr�tica de la raz�n pura es una obra clave de la filosof�a moderna, que inaugura lo que Kant denomina idealismo trascendental. Entre las resistencias que encontr� la obra se puede citar que P�o VIII, antes de llegar a papa cat�lico, como prefecto de la Congregaci�n del �ndice prohibi� bajo amenaza de excomuni�n la lectura de la Cr�tica de la raz�n pura (decreto del 8 de julio de 1827). Kant, a quien tambi�n le fue ordenado no volver a publicar m�s sobre temas de teolog�a,5 ya hab�a previsto situaciones de este tipo cuando en el mismo pr�logo de la Cr�tica se�ala lo siguiente, pese a que era un cristiano convencido: "Todo ha de someterse a la cr�tica. Pero la religi�n y la legislaci�n pretenden de ordinario escapar a la misma. La religi�n a causa de su santidad, y la legislaci�n a causa de su majestad. Sin embargo, al hacerlo, despiertan contra s� mismas sospechas justificadas y no pueden exigir un respeto sincero, respeto que la raz�n s�lo concede a lo que es capaz de resistir su examen libre y p�blico." Absolutamente es una obra de lectura obligatoria para entender las claves de la filosof�a moderna.

This book was released on 2005-12-12 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at the crossroads of nature and culture, physics and consciousness, cosmos and life, history – intimately conjoined with time – continues to puzzle the philosopher as well as the scientist. Does brute nature unfold a history? Does human history have a telos? Does human existence have a purpose? Phenomenology of life projects a new interrogative system for reexamining these questions. We are invited to follow the logos of life as it spins in innumerable ways the interplay of natural factors, human passions, social forces, science and experience – through interruptions and kairic moments of accomplishment – in the human creative imagination and intellective reasoning. There then run a cohesive thread of reality. Papers by: Marta Figueras Badia, Mark E. Blum, M. Avelina Cecilia Lafuente, Carmen Cozma, Danzankhorloo Dashpurev, Mamuka G.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the case of a philosophical work it seems not only superfluous, but, in view of the nature of philosophy, even inappropriate and misleading to begin, as writers usually do in a preface, by explaining the end the author had in mind, the circumstances which gave rise to the work, and the relation in which the writer takes it to stand to other treatises on the same subject, written by his predecessors or his contemporaries. For whatever it might be suitable to state about philosophy in a preface - say, an historical sketch of the main drift and point of view, the general content and results, a string of desultory assertions and assurances about the truth - this cannot be accepted as the form and manner in which to expound philosophical truth. Moreover, because philosophy has its being essentially in the element of that universality which encloses the particular within it, the end or final result seems, in the case of philosophy more than in that of other sciences, to have absolutely expressed the complete fact itself in its very nature; contrasted with that the mere process of bringing it to light would seem, properly speaking, to have no essential significance. On the other hand, in the general idea of e.g. anatomy - the knowledge of the parts of the body regarded as lifeless - we are quite sure we do not possess the objective concrete fact, the actual content of the science, but must, over and above, be concerned with particulars. Further, in the case of such a collection of items of knowledge, which has no real right to the name of science, any talk about purpose and suchlike generalities is not commonly very different from the descriptive and superficial way in which the contents of the science these nerves and muscles, etc.-are themselves spoken of. In philosophy, on the other hand, it would at once be felt incongruous were such a method made use of and yet shown by philosophy itself to be incapable of grasping the truth. In the same way too, by determining the relation which a philosophical work professes to have to other treatises on the same subject, an extraneous interest is introduced, and obscurity is thrown over the point at issue in the knowledge of the truth. The more the ordinary mind takes the opposition between true and false to be fixed, the more is it accustomed to expect either agreement or contradiction with a given philosophical system, and only to see reason for the one or the other in any explanatory statement concerning such a system. It does not conceive the diversity of philosophical systems as the progressive evolution of truth; rather, it sees only contradiction in that variety. The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. These stages are not merely differentiated; they supplant one another as being incompatible with one another. But the ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes them at the same time moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and this equal necessity of all moments constitutes alone and thereby the life of the whole. But contradiction as between philosophical systems is not wont to be conceived in this way; on the other hand, the mind perceiving the contradiction does not commonly know how to relieve it or keep it free from its onesidedness, and to recognize in what seems conflicting and inherently antagonistic the presence of mutually necessary moments.
