Science - Psychologie | | Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: tragender Unergründbarkeit | This comes from an account of the life and work of the psychologist Johannes Rudert. Describing Rudert's beliefs, the author writes that he " war durchdrungen von der Überzeugung, daß das Individuum "ineffable" sei, was Person in tragender Unergrundbarkeit respektiert.."
Can anyone offer suggestions as to how best to translate "was Person in tragender Unergrundbarkeit respektiert" in this context? Thanks for all suggestions. |

| | which credits (respects) the individual or 'Person' in all her/his fundamental unfathomability | Erklärung:
A dangerously semi-informed try. I suspect Person (because sans article) is a usage coined by Rudert or his biographer.
Also: the ending clause in the quote explains 'ineffable' to German readers. So a short-cut rephrasing in Eng. may be in order (... and thus underlined the individual's sustaining profundity'?)

8/6, 22:30 So right re. that clumsy mouthful, Yorick; something like 'intrinsic profundity' / 'intrinsically unfathomable depth', instead? (there must be an unpompous variant out there). Regards & thanks for YOUR feedback. / S. |

| Hinweis von Fragesteller an den AntwortendenI liked this because it kept to the German "in" rather than introducing a new clause with "that"; "fundamental unfathomability" sounds a bit clumsy but I can't think of a better alternative myself-I think much of the original German in this essay is strangely worded anyway. Many thanks!

Fragesteller: Many thanks-I chose the other translation because I thought the "in" better conveyed the original sense -but thanks as well.
