Robinson and Sun argue that “interepistemic translation,\" or translating between epistemic regimes, is commonplace. Metaphor and analogy are interepistemic translations. So is almost everything we do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores interepistemic translation and its foundational tensions through the example of how Chinese and Western culture – and the paradigm gaps between then – have been theorized in histories of science. The co-authors each present case studies from the 20th century. Robinson examines the thought of Thomas S. Kuhn in \u003ci\u003eThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions\u003c\/i\u003e and his later work, and reads Neal Stephenson's future “China,” especially Shanghai, in the 1995 novel \u003ci\u003eThe Diamond Age. \u003c\/i\u003eSun engages the rhizomatic theory of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and draws from representations of China vis-à-vis Matteo Ricci, along with reading contemporary Shanghai and \u003ci\u003eQi\u003c\/i\u003e theory from traditional Chinese medicine. Taken together, the examples demonstrate the bi-directional, multi-directional, and inter-directional translational work guiding how we perceive then read the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Translating and Interpreting at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and is one of the world's leading experts on translation.
