AB This essay adopts a highly but not entirely relativistic position towards the study of transla-tion. On the basis of a long list of research questions that may legitimately be asked abouttwo fragments from Shakespeare’s Hamlet (one original, the other a translation) the essayattempts to recapture a fuller sense of the endless complexity of reality and of how provi-sional and partial human knowledge of reality is doomed to remain. This implies a criti-cism of the monological and self-assertive attitudes which are often displayed by researchershoping to conquer the field. Combining elementary insights from epistemology with anawareness of research as a sociological, economic, institutional and psychologically moti-vated reality, the essay rejects rigid thinking while accepting the necessity of theories andparadigms, and ends up recommending old-fashioned homely ideals such as common senseand dialogue.
