Reply to comment by 2Ben3510 in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

I think it’s worth noting that the Bible has not been ethically translated across time

Possible. Do we have more accurate translations of this passage?

Is there any difference between an ethical translation and a good translation? Unless by ethical you mean sanitised.

By ethical I mean, within the spirit of the work or atleast transparent about the translators own biases. If your goal is to keep medieval Europeans subservient and illiterate, I question your ability to ethically translate the Bible.
