The Republic — Page 10

English → Korean INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS. Level 9/10

There is no absurdity in supposing that he may have laid his labours aside for a time, or turned from one work to another; and such interruptions would be more likely to occur in the case of a long than of a short writing.

그가 한동안 작업을 중단했거나 한 작품에서 다른 작품으로 전환했다고 가정하는 것이 터무니없는 일은 아니며, 그러한 중단은 짧은 글보다 긴 글의 경우에 더 자주 발생했을 가능성이 높다.

In all attempts to determine the chronological order of the Platonic writings on internal evidence, this uncertainty about any single Dialogue being composed at one time is a disturbing element, which must be admitted to affect longer works, such as the Republic and the Laws, more than shorter ones.

내적 증거를 바탕으로 플라톤 저작들의 연대순을 확정하려는 모든 시도에서, 어떤 단일한 대화편이 한 번에 저술되었는지에 대한 이러한 불확실성은 교란 요소로 작용하며, 이는 짧은 작품들보다 《국가》나 《법률》과 같은 긴 작품들에 더 많은 영향을 미친다는 점을 인정해야 한다.

But, on the other hand, the seeming discrepancies of the Republic may only arise out of the discordant elements which the philosopher has attempted to unite in a single whole, perhaps without being himself able to recognise the inconsistency which is obvious to us.

그러나 다른 한편으로, 《국가》에서 나타나는 겉보기의 불일치는 철학자가 하나의 전체로 통합하려 시도했던 불협화적 요소들에서 비롯된 것일 수 있으며, 아마도 그 자신은 우리에게 명백히 보이는 그 모순을 인식하지 못했을 것이다.

For there is a judgment of after ages which few great writers have ever been able to anticipate for themselves.

왜냐하면 후대의 평가란 위대한 작가들조차 스스로 미리 예견할 수 있었던 이가 거의 없기 때문이다.

They do not perceive the want of connexion in their own writings, or the gaps in their systems which are visible enough to those who come after them.

그들은 자신의 저작들에서 연결의 결여를 인식하지 못하며, 후대 사람들에게는 충분히 눈에 보이는 자신들의 체계 속의 공백도 알아채지 못한다.

In the beginnings of literature and philosophy, amid the first efforts of thought and language, more inconsistencies occur than now, when the paths of speculation are well worn and the meaning of words precisely defined.

문학과 철학의 초창기에, 사유와 언어의 첫 번째 노력들이 이루어지던 시기에는, 사변의 길이 충분히 닦이고 단어의 의미가 정확히 정의된 오늘날보다 더 많은 불일치가 발생했다.

For consistency, too, is the growth of time; and some of the greatest creations of the human mind have been wanting in unity.

일관성 또한 시간이 흐르며 성장하는 것이기 때문이다. 그리고 인간 정신의 가장 위대한 창조물들 중 일부도 통일성이 결여되어 있었다.
