Eclecticism, and consistency be enforced
Comment to post My alphabet book Patxi ia the comments the same post.
Patxi,
Do not trust the definitions of DRAE! NO, please! It is one of the worst dictionaries of the world ...
Fanshawe, I hope not to disappoint, but it is a metonymy of you or your friends.
Let's see, I found a dictionary that defines it better. The Great Dictionary of the Catalan language Encyclopedia, a good dictionary, but does not reach the height of Robert. Translate into Castilian:
ECLECTICISM
FILOS philosophical method consists of choosing various ideas more acceptable doctrines in order to form a body of doctrine.
Archippus architectural trends developed in the nineteenth century mixing different stylistic element.
And within 2 ECLECTIC
adj my f p ext That amalgam opinions, trends, etc.., Widely viewed as contradictory.
In short, is a philosophical source word used to refer to something heterogeneous varied, especially when it comes to ideas (not say, "My choice of cookies is very eclectic, although I love that use). So use it to refer to your book lists will in handy: in fact, are quite varied and contained elements of diverse origin, and are books, which are linked to the world of ideas ... The assessment of whether they are contradictory elements and is more subjective, but it also makes sense of surprise and admiration that can cause seeing you play so many different issues at once.
A couple of things:
's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ... At first, I thought you'd quickly translated the title, but no, horror!, the book translated into Castilian is exactly like that ... Yuck! This translation of Effective with cash , I can not bear. The subject is too long ( Effective / efficient / efficacious vs. effective / efficient / effective ) to develop here, but someday I'll try (what do you think as the next topic of conversation - after the actual start of exciting century - for a family holiday dinner?).
The other thing is regarding the book Influence, Science and Practice and it is also related to the translation. I was struck by the use of the word consistency in the last sentence ... Consistency and consistency partial are false friends.
In some contexts, it is equivalent consistency (when it comes to material things: a mass, a paste, liquid chocolate), but in the sense of the book, translated by I need to be consistent (in other contexts, might be regularity or consistency ). I know it's long, but what is (if the adjective, it would be easier: one word for a word, but still noun ...).
I also been amazed by something else ... To confirm that came from Consistency and see where they were inscribed the phrase, I looked for the original review. The phrase I've found is: "Reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and Scarcity." If this was your basic sentence, I see that you have followed a technique advanced translation (¡!): Consistency has translated and liking with two words each. , O Bravo!
