Abstract
This paper focuses on the meaning of translation (Über-setzung) in Heidegger’s late work. The
German prefix über- suggests a „jump” from one field of experience to another, thus implying a duality of the
„own” and the „other”. This seminal duality will be examined by studying the etymology of the English word
„translation”, which will bring to the fore the key role played by the verb „to bear”, understood as an
essential enabling of the „other” to stand on its own in the horizon of the „own”. The paper will then focus
on the significance of „enabling” as the very sense of translation and will discuss the rendering of the central
Heideggerian term Ereignis as „enowning” by the American translators P. Emad & K. Maly in 1999.
