PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY OF THE PHENOMENON OF TRANSLATION CONSCIOUSNESS AS A SYSTEM-FORMING FACTOR IN THE IMAGE OF THE WORLD OF A FUTURE TRANSLATOR

Abstract

From the philosophical point of view, we characterize the translator’s consciousness as the most important component of the personality’s psyche. Its functional characteristics provides the specialist with the opportunity to amplify some generalized knowledge about the connections, relationships, and laws of the objective world. The formation of the translator’s consciousness involves setting goals and developing plans that largely justify his professional activities in the social environment, regulating and controlling the emotional, rational, and subject-practical relationships of the future translator with the surrounding reality, as well as determining the value, axiological conditions for the formation of the translator’s consciousness. The professional consciousness of a translator encompasses the inner world of feelings, thoughts, ideas and other spiritual phenomena that are directly perceived by the senses of each individual specialist and are fundamentally capable of becoming objects of subject-specific and practical activity for both the translation specialist himself/herself and other specialists who cooperate with translators both in terms of performing professional activities and in terms of understanding the structure of the translator’s worldview as a whole. From the position of Philosophy, we consider any consciousness as a certain social product that exists as long as a person exists. Moreover, from the very birth of a child, we are talking about “pure” consciousness, which is formed gradually, under the influence of certain factors, including psychological ones. Consciousness is influenced by lexical units, statements that affect a certain person both in their content and in their form (the statement is formulated in the form of orders, instructions, praise, encouragement, etc.). That is, consciousness reflects a person’s awareness of the closest, sensory-perceived environment, awareness of the limited connection of himself with other people and things that are seemingly outside the individual, but to a large extent determine the person’s awareness of himself/herself in the society.
