AB In this paper, I argue that the activity of translating can be found at the very core ofphilosophizing, in the experience of thinking itself. Firstly, I argue that a genuine translation entails thinkingtogether with the translated author, by imagining a dialogue with him or her. Secondly, I argue that thinkingitself is a process of translation. Starting form Plato’s and Aristotle’s depictions of thinking as dialogue, Iargue that we can find a similar treatment of thinking in Heidegger’s analysis of the “voice of conscience”,and I show how the dialogue with my own conscience has a translative effect: it transports me from theinauthenticity of my everyday life towards my possible and better self. Thus, not only translation, but thinkingtoo is a form of hospitality, the thinker being a host for his own possible self.
