• Resumen

  • Basically, this essay traces an epistemological line. It starts by mentioning how positivism has influenced thought and knowledge today, especially in the field of Translation Studies. There is also reference to the influence of continental philosophy, known as well as post-structuralism and its influence on what has been called the Cultural Turn in Translation Studies. From both paradigms, scholars work hard in order to give a scientific status to the discipline. In his path towards understanding, Paul Ricoeur has made a significant contribution with his inquiry method and his notion of meaning.
