<br/><br/> This text presents a systematic investigation of the phenomenology and processes of translation both inside and between languages. Taking issue with the principal emphasis of modern linguistics, it finds the root of the "Babel problem" in our deep instinct for privacy and a unique body of shared secrecy. This thesis analyzes every aspect of translation, from fundamental conditions of interpretation to the most intricate of linguistic constructions.  This is the third edition of After Babel, a controversial work in translation studies. It has been revised and corrected and contains information which should be of interest to anyone involved in the theory and practice of translation.
