Difficulties Encountered When translating Aristotle\u27s Expression OUSIA

Rad predstavlja pokušaj da se na primjenu Aristotelova filozofijskog izraza ousiasi pokaže od kakvog je presudnog značaja za mišljenje riječ i njen odabir. Dok u samog Aristotela ta riječ objedinjuje i drži na okupu ono prividno najudaljenije, naime i samu pojedinačnu stvar u njenoj konkretnosti (tode ti), i ono što ta stvar jest (njen eidos), i ono bezoblično u čemu sve što jest određeno nastaje i biva (\u27ule kao \u27upokeimenon), dotle se taj pogled na cjelinu i jedinstvenost smisla sadržan u riječi ousia, nakon Aristotela, više nije održao. Diskusija latinskih, njemačkih i engleskih prijevoda od ousia kroz srednji i novi vijek te u današnje vrijeme, završava analizom staroslavenskih pokušaja (10. i 11. st.) prevođenja sa sϙštъstvo, suštъstvo.This paper ,is an attempt to demonstrate, on the example of Aristotle\u27s philosophical expression ousia, the, crucial \u27importance to thinking of words and their selection. Aristotle\u27s own usage of this word brings together the seemingly most disparate concepts, namely, \u27an individual thing in its concreteness (tode ti) and what that thing really is (its eidos) and the formless .in which all that really is concrete becomes and is (hyle as hypokeimenon). After Aristotle, however, this view of the whole and the integrality of meaning contained in the word ousia was not maintained. The discussion of Latin, German and English translations of ousia hrough the Middle Ages, New Age and modem times ends with an analysis of Old Church Slavonic attempts (10th and llth century) to translate it with sϙštъstvo, suštъstvo
