The problems and differences in the Translation of Heidegger’s: “Sein und Zeit” “Being and Time”

Abstract

Translation of philosophical texts provides difficulties for translators. Especially Heidegger’s work “Sein und Zeit” (Being and Time) has a particular difficulty. His work involves several concepts that are introduced new to the field. These concepts are even difficult to understand by German native people. Research has shown that the problem of translatability of “Sein und Zeit” is due to Heidegger’s experience with language and his understanding of ordinary language. This research aims to present several translations of “Sein und Zeit”, the decisions that each translator has taken and to show how to analyze Heidegger’s concepts in order to demonstrate Heidegger’s language and philosophy as accurate as possible. Philosophy in general, Heidegger’s philosophy, Heidegger’s experience with language, etymology and the German language has to be analyzed to translate Heidegger’s works.
