How has translation, understood in an expansive sense that includes reception, interpretation, and editing, transformed an orally performed poem from the Greek Archaic period into a foundational text of philosophy? In what ways might translation open new interpretive possibilities? Through activating translation in multiple ways, ranging from translation as thinking, transfictional readings of canonical texts, and a provocative new translation, in Parmenides & Translation: Figures of Motion, Figures of Being D. M. Spitzer explores these questions, seeking to develop and inspire new approaches to the poem of Parmenides and beyond. With a style that continually reminds readers of the inalienable links between literature and philosophy, the book enhances the emerging research area on the intersections of translation and philosophy.
