To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mediator or translator, or in- terpreter, must, in cases of this sort, himself know both languages, and thus be intelligible to both the persons whom his translation serves. The triadic relation in question is, in its essence, non-symmetrical, — that is, unevenly arranged with respect to all three terms. Thus somebody (let us say A) — the translator or interpreter — interprets somebody (let us say B) to somebody (let us say C). If you transpose the order of the terms, — A, B, C, — an accoun...t of the hap- pening which constitutes an interpretation 141 Digitized by Google THE PROBLEM OF CHRISTIANITY must be altered, or otherwise may become either false or meaningless. Thus an interpretation is a relation which not only involves three terms, but brings them into a determinate order. One of the three terms is the interpreter; a second term is the object — the person or the mean- ing or the text — which is interpreted; the third is the person to whom the interpretation is addressed.
