Philosophie | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: Comme le dit je crois la langue anglaise | The close of a philosophical speech on landmines.
Context:
"Comme le dit je crois la langue anglaise, ce « pas de trop », qui a franchi une limite catastrophique, ce peut être aussi un « pas au-delà » qui ouvre sur un autre avenir."
I can't equate the reference to the English language, with what follows. |
| | | as they put it in English, the 'step too far' may be a 'step further' | Erklärung:
'as they put it in English' is a bit more like how we put it in English...

but on second thoughts, if you are translating into English isn\'t that superfluous? |

| as the English language puts it
Erklärung:
"pas de trop" - not by much, some idiom in English equates to this

as the English language puts it, I believe, this \"pas de trop\" - what exactly this \"pas de trop\" should be in English - perhaps your context reveals more - not by much is just a hunch

| As I believe it is said in the English language
Erklärung:
or just "in English" or "...they say in English"
"pas de trop" may be "a step too far" or "one step beyond"

On \"steps\" and philosophy, this footnote may help:

It would be interesting in this context to bring together the various references philosophers have made to steps, paths, walking etc. and the variations philosophers have played on this theme. To Heidegger’s step back we would add Blanchot’s ‘pas au-dela’ [the step (not) beyond], Kierkegaard’s leap (of faith), Nietzsche’s dance (‘my style is a dance ...’), and leap (‘...an overleaping mockery of symmetries’). To these we would have to add the many references to the path and the way (Tao). Indeed even the ubiquitous (for some iniquitous) word ‘method’ would have to be included, with its Greek root hodos (way). The question raised by this lexicon has to do with the status of its contribution to philosophical discourse, whether it is a wholly dispensable metaphorical legacy from a distant past or whether it reflects another way in which human embodiment is ineliminable from thought.
