TRANSLATING HEIDEGGERS BEING AND TIME

[Maynard S. Clark]

What are/would be the implications for humane, animal rights, vegetarian, and religious theory of a widespread appreciation of Sein und Zeit (Being and Time).

The suble lide of perception and intuitions around coexistence and knowing are something vegetarians and ARAs may wish to discuss in great depth.

Before, while, and after doing AR tabling in Harvard Square, I found myself repeatedly tapping Heideggerian insights (though not ocabulary) while discussing moral and ontic/ontological issues with inquirers, including Harvard faculty.

NOTE that this project aims to offer Heidegger in a number of the less-well-known language (Swedish, Turkish, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, etc.).  And note to that Anglican cleric and historian of Protestant AND Catholic Theology, John Macquarrie, whom I've met in Boston a few times, is at this conference discussing the difficulties of translating Sein und Zeit into English (because of the difficult German). 

I remember also Heiegger classes at both Harvard and Tufts in which I posed in a srangely novel way some of the issues we in the AR movement have been discussing now for decades. 

Also, since religious philosophy today is SO heavily invested in discussing "the hermeneutics of being," is serious dialogue with those academic traditions POSSIBLE without engaging Heidegger and the Heideggerians? I think not, those most "popularizers" have sought to do just that.  And what do Jaspers and Heidegger have to say about the nature of "religious language" and "the religious language discussion"  Jaspers claims that "religious language" says things which cannot be said otherwise; some (many?), however, think that such discourse is needlessly muddled and cannot be un-confounded -- hence the difficulty of understanding it truly -- a contexutal situation paralleling the difficulties of translating Heidegger into any tongue not that of ol' Martin himself, even 21st century German (and the 'hemeneutucs' of younger generations).

We would like to invite to participate in this volume all translators in the
world of this major work of phenomenology in their own language. We
also invite to take part all the translators whose work on Sein und Zeit is
currently in progress, i.e. whose translations are not yet published.

The aim of this volume is to discuss the challenge this masterpiece
addressed to each language and also to make manifest the impact and
irradiation this work produced all over the world in various national
cultures. We would suggest the authors to cover in their contributions
some of the following aspects that we deem as central to the purpose of
our volume:
1) The historical aspect (the context and status of Heidegger translations
in the respective country at the moment of translating Sein und Zeit );
2) The autobiographical aspect (each translator is invited to tell the personal story of his/her own involvement with Heidegger's Sein und Zeit, how he/she came to translate this masterpiece);
3) The personal “adventure” of the translation itself (the translator is
invited to tell the story of his/her confrontation with Heidegger's text and
of its most difficult aspects);
4) The impact the translation of Sein und Zeit had in the respective
culture;
5) The different possibilities of translating Heidegger's work – the “literal”
translation vs. the “hermeneutical-interpretative” one – and translator's
reasons for choosing one manner or another;
6) The capacity of each language to undertake the task of expressing
what is idiomatic in Heidegger's work (and consequently what seemed to
be un-translatable).
