An Inquiry Into the Proper Mode of Translating Ruach and Pneuma

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book carefully evaluates the interchangeable usage of two Chinese terms in classical Chinese texts. The author demonstrates that both terms serve as synonyms across multiple contextual usages, such as when describing a person's vitality, intellect, or spiritual essence. Intriguingly, the author also shows that despite their generally synonymous application, these terms bear a more nuanced distinction when utilized to describe "invisible intelligences." Despite their broad interchangeability, they are not absolutely identical in meaning when referring to incorporeal existences. The author asserts that this semantic differentiation is a critical distinction that must be carefully observed when translating ancient Chinese philosophical and religious texts.
