Babette Babich on why reading philosophy in translation is a fundamental problem: "If you don't read Aristotle in Greek, you cannot understand his argument. If you don't read Plato in Greek, you cannot understand his argument." Her reasoning is precise: translation is not a neutral act. "If you translate it into English, someone somewhere along the line will vary the word and then the argument falls apart." She uses Nietzsche as her sharpest example. The Cambridge edition aside, most English translations of Nietzsche don't give you Nietzsche. They give you the translator's interpretation of Nietzsche. She names Walter Kaufmann specifically: "He earns his name, he's a salesman. He sold Nietzsche to everyone as someone who was not really Nazi. He's very good. But that's the problem." The same logic applies to analytic philosophy's engagement with continental thinkers: "Analytic philosophers can teach you how to read Nietzsche. But I would say they really can't. You cannot read Nietzsche in translation. You can, but you'll be reading a lovely man, R.J. Hollingdale. You will not be reading Nietzsche." Her deeper point is about what makes a genuine continental philosopher and why that tradition is quietly disappearing: "The distinction is over because everyone has died. Who are actual continental philosophers? You're looking at one. But there are not a lot of them. And I'm not long for this world." What made Gadamer great wasn't that he wrote "Truth and Method". It's that he was a philologist first. He read Greek. What made Nietzsche penetrating was that he was a scholar of Greek. That's precisely why Bernard Williams took him so seriously. The language wasn't incidental. It was the method. When the last generation who had those teachers is gone, something irreplaceable goes with them.
