Radical translation is a concept in the field of philosophy of language and specifically in the study of semantics and meaning. The term is often associated with the work of philosopher W.V.O. Quine, particularly his views on language, meaning, and translation. In his essay "Word and Object," Quine discusses the challenges of translating one language into another, especially when the two languages have no common reference point or shared experience.
