This article examines the epistemological foundations of translation studies, contrasting two main paradigms: a spatializing approach and a durative conception of translation. The dominant spatializing paradigm relies on metaphors of displacement and material transfer, reducing translation to a linear act of transport between two fixed points. This approach, shaped by an Anglocentric bias, tends to overlook the temporal dimension of the translational process.

This article stems from a lecture delivered in the colloquium on Charles De Koninck which took place at Université Laval, at the end of January 2010. Its purpose is to provide an introduction to the major themes of the philosophy of nature of the former Dean of the Faculté de philosophie. It is based on the recent edition of his cosmological and epistemological writings, notably on an early text (1936), Le cosmos, impossible to find today yet profuse in novel intuitions. It purports to discern three more and more profound layers in it. The first layer is a felicitous and skilful presentation of philosophy of nature in the Aristotelian perspective. The second is at the fertile crossroads between that first perspective and the import, philosophically integrated, of present-day sciences, especially as regards the history of the cosmos and of life (evolution). Finally, this study suggests that, in his first years of teaching already, Charles De Koninck succeeded in sketching a novel though yet incomplete approach bringing out the very principles of his philosophy, which one could venture to entitle provisionally : a cosmology of love.
