    The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Philosophy presents the first comprehensive, state of the art overview of the complex relationship between the field of translation studies and the study of philosophy. The book is divided into four sections covering discussions of canonical philosophers, central themes in translation studies from a philosophical perspective, case studies of how philosophy has been translated and illustrations of new developments. With twenty-nine chapters written by international specialists in translation studies and philosophy, it represents a major survey of two fields that have only recently begun to enter into dialogue. The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Philosophy is a pioneering resource for students and scholars in translation studies and philosophy alike.

    Biography

    Piers Rawling is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Florida State University. He has wideranging



    interests and has published papers on decision theory, ethics (with David McNaughton),



    metaphysics, philosophy of action, language, mind and science and applications of quantum



    theory (with Stephen Selesnick). He is co-editor (with Alfred Mele) of The Oxford Handbook of



    Rationality (2004).



    Philip Wilson is Honorary Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, where



    he teaches literature and philosophy. Publications include: The Luther Breviary (translated with



    John Gledhill, 2007); Literary Translation: Re-drawing the Boundaries (edited with Jean Boase-



    Beier and Antoinette Fawcett, 2014); The Bright Rose: German Verse 800–1280 (translated and

    the philosophy of history and translation.

    Featuring a wealth of original contributions by renowned philosophers, translation theorists, and translators, this is the first major work to bring together the disciplines of philosophy and translation studies. Accessibly written throughout, the Handbook demonstrates the mutual enrichment that inheres in the dialogue between these two disciplines, opening up important new avenues for research and offering a fresh perspective on key themes in translation studies.
