Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a new methodology of literary translation which is based on a reflection that is both aesthetic and philosophical, the result of a meeting between the notion of “appearing” in phenomenology and the concept of “form” as developed, among others, by Ernst Cassirer. Several points will be considered to understand this methodology: the perceptive character of the literary text, the reading of the symbolic forms of the source text and the translator’s new task and methodology.
