ON METHODS OF TRANSLATION OF PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINES IN HISTORY OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY

The paper deals with the specific features of the means of translation of the philosophical knowledge in the Ancient and Middle Age History of Indian Philosophy. Translation is defined as the most integrating type of transferring of culture from one human being to another. In other words, such a translation is an interiorization by a human being of the complex of ideas, philosophical values, algorithms of action, behaviour and thinking. The authors of the article take philosophy as a complicated and developed sphere of knowledge, which demands translation, not merely a simple transferring the content of a philosophical doctrine. The article deals with the question about the means of such a translation in the history of the Indian philosophy. The analysis of the key-fragments of “Chandogya-upanishada” discovers the basic specifics of Indian methods of translation, which includes the division of the theoretical and methodical texts.
