Abstract

Alexei N. Leontiev, a famous Russian developmental psychologist and the founder of activity theory, attached great importance to the concept of reflection in psychology. In this article, we intend to show the theoretical relationship between the concept of reflection in modern psychology and the concept of reflection in modern interpreting and translation studies. The stated subject matter of the paper does not seem strange to us, because, as we will show further reflection of the reality of consciousness is the epistemological basis for any conscious human activity. The given parallels between a psychologist and a translator were chosen because they seem to depict the gnoseological power of the philosophical concept of reflection most vividly
