origins
Our current conceptions of ethics, at least in Europe, mostly stem from Greek philosophers who lived over 2000 years ago, although ethical discussions appear in prior work from many origins and cultures, such as the Analects, thought to have been compiled in China at much the same time. When Socrates was condemned to death, he is reported to have said that it is not only living, but living well which we ought to consider important.
abstract
Ethics, the branch of philosophy that examines moral questions to evaluate whether an action is right or wrong, has become an increasingly popular and relevant topic for translation and interpreting scholars in recent years. Within translation studies, Koskinen and Pokorn (2021b: 3) define ethics as ‘the subfield that aims to understand what is good and bad, right and wrong in translatorial praxis’. This chapter presents an introduction to ethics in the translation professions, running through ethics as they may apply to translators, translation organisations, translation technology, and translation scholars.
