Abstract:

Philosophy for Translators: An Arabic-English Reader presents
carefully selected philosophical texts originally composed in English
and drawn from authentic sources. These texts have been thoughtfully
translated into Arabic, offering readers a bilingual format that
serves both pedagogical and intellectual purposes. While the volume is
likely to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers with an interest in
philosophy and translation, it is primarily designed for students
engaged in Arabic-English translation studies.
Providing Arabic translations alongside the original English texts can
greatly aid readers—especially those who are less fluent in English—in
understanding complex philosophical ideas, thereby helping to make
significant philosophical discussions more accessible to the
Arabic-speaking academic world and beyond.
With this goal in mind, the author sought to create a reader-oriented
translation—one that is readable, accessible, idiomatic, authentic,
and well-structured, with all elements working together to achieve the
text’s natural and engaging flow. To achieve this objective, a range
of local translation strategies were employed—including addition,
omission, restructuring, modulation, re-narrating, editing,
integrating, condensing, expanding, etc.—each chosen based on the
specific demands of the text. These techniques allowed for greater
flexibility in rendering meaning, preserving nuance, and enhancing the
overall coherence and natural flow of the translation.
Each chapter closes with a wide-ranging selection of exercises.
