24. Translating Ethics: The Role of Language in Value Transmission
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In our increasingly globalized and multicultural world, ethical values must be communicated across linguistic, cultural, and contextual boundaries. This paper explores the central role that language plays in the transmission and interpretation of ethical values. Drawing from philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and organizational ethics, the paper analyzes how translation affects ethical understanding and implementation, especially in multinational organizations, international policy, and intercultural relations. It also examines the risks of ethical miscommunication and offers strategies for more responsible and accurate ethical translation. Through case studies and interdisciplinary insights, the paper illustrates that language is not a passive conduit but an active participant in shaping ethical worldviews.
