其他題名: The translation study on the metaphysical idea in the Spanish version of Daode Jing : focus on "Dao", "You", "Wu"
Based on translation and interpretation works of Daode Jing from Carmelo Elorduy, Jose Ramon Alvarez and Inaki Preciado Idoeta, this thesis will explore the hierarchy and level of translation works among metaphysics by mainly focusing on Tao, Yu, and Wu.
Recent translation works are more involved with literature and business application and less with philosophy and thoughts. As a result, even such translation works often discuss the composition of poems or statement of rhymes, they may not offer comprehensive translation for certain philosophical translations. However, translation itself is a way of interpretation. In this thesis, the research method of the analysis and discussion will be built in the ground of Truth and Method by H. Gadamer.
This thesis will firstly summarize and analyze the outcomes of previous studies, including discussion of western and eastern literature review, summary of Sinology of Spain, and interpretation of metaphysics from Sinologists. Secondly, the author will provide Spanish translation of chapter one, chapter four and chapter twenty-five from Daode jing in order to offer further understanding of Tao interpretation from Sinologists. Lastly, the conclusion, which is approach of philosophical translation, can serve as response to the contribucion of Spain Sinologists.
To sum up, the dilema in philosophical translation cannot be eliminated with one standard solution. However, we could explore new meanings from historical texts by applying translation from varied angles. If we could attract people’s attention toward historical texts through new interpretations, then the abundant meanings can be more extended and evolved.
