Francesca Ervas, "LINGUISTIC INJUSTICE AND TRANSLATION IN ANALYTIC
PHILOSOPHY"
Monday, 23 September 2024, at 5:00 EDT // 11:00 CEST // 14:30 IST // 19:00
AEST

Abstract
The aim of the talk is primarily to explain what linguistic injustice is
and why it presents a problem within analytic philosophy today. In
particular, it aims to show that linguistic injustice is not a contingent
philosophical problem, as it concerns the very nature of
analytic philosophy and its method. First, I will show that linguistic
injustice in analytic philosophy is rooted in the history of the
definitions given to the concept of translation. In this regard, the
various stages of the history of translation in the analytic tradition will
be traced back, from the initial definitions of translation as analysis and
calculus to the thematization of the problem of translation in terms of
irreducible divergence of conceptual schemes, up to the progressive
decrease of interest in the topic. Finally, it will be shown how some
challenges raised in pragmatics and logical pluralism make linguistic
injustice a central problem for philosophy itself, which today requires a
necessary return to the theme of translation.
