Mazeppa, Falsafa and Tarjima

The task of the translator (mutarjim) and that of the faylasuf are intertwined. In fact, historically speaking, the 'Abbasid translation project of the 9th-10th centuries C.E. provided the impetus for falsafa. This fact should never be forgotten.

Mazeppism is falsafa for Mazeppa was translated (literally, "carried across") from one way of being-in-the-world to another and, in the event, had to find his footing while balancing himself between two disparate realities.

Mazeppist, faylasuf, and mutarjim are all synonyms: they each point to cognate truths.
