On Translation by John Sallis
Offers a philosophical reflection on the nature and process of translation. This title shows that translating is much more than a matter of transposing one language into another. It approaches translation from four directions and shows how the classical concept of translation has undergone mutation and deconstruction.-

Force of Imagination
"Sallis, author of this brief but rich monograph, is general editor of the Studies in Continental Thought series in which this volume appearsAlthough he accords Continental thinkers, such as Heidegger, Kant, Nietzsche, and Schlegel, ample room, he pays enough attention to the works of Shakespeare (especially A Midsummer Night's Dream), the ancient Greeks, and others to make this exciting, if exacting, reading for specialists and for those whose interests cross disciplines. The major chapters of this book, Scenes of Translation at Large and Translation and the Force of Words, are framed by two shorter, but no less provocative chapters—The Dream of Nontranslation and Varieties of Untranslatability. Taken as a whole, these chapters, which developed out of academic lectures at institutions located from Connecticut to Bangkok, may be accessible to advanced undergraduates, but they will appeal most to those who are more advanced in their research and scholarship. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above." —L. J. Greenspoon, Creighton University, 2003jun CHOICE
John Sallis is Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Philosophy at Pennsylvania State University. His books include Force of Imagination: The Sense of the Elemental; Chorology: On Beginning in Plato's Timaeus; and Shades—Of Painting at the Limit (all Indiana University Press).
