In 'After Babel', George Steiner explores the complexity of language and translation, arguing that understanding is translating. Steiner examines the relationship between language, thought, and culture, addressing topics such as gnosis, the word and the object, and the ambitions of linguistic theory. This book is a profound reflection on the nature of language and its impact on human understanding.
