RUSSIAN TRANSLATION THE CONCEPT OF “REN” IN CONFUCIUS’ WORK “CONVERSATIONS AND JUDGMENTS” (ANNU) FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF COGNITIVE TRANSLATION STUDIES

Abstract

This article examines the concept of Chinese culture “ren” in translation into Russian. Various translations of Confucius’s work “Conversations and Judgments” (Lunyu) were used as material. A comparative historical analysis was conducted, in the process of which the works of translators of different historical periods were compared from the point of view of cognitive translation studies. The purpose of the work is to compare the translations of Confucius’s “Conversations and Judgments” (Lunyu) into Russian using the example of the translation interpretation of the concept “ren”. The results of translation are significantly influenced by the national culture of the translator and reader (as well as its similarities and differences with the culture of the author of the original text), the historical era and the adopted approaches to translation, the goals of translation, etc.
