Well, English is of course very important. But I think it is an illusion to think that the international debates in English are also automatically universal. In my experience, these debates are dominated (naturally) by Anglo-Saxon concerns. What is important to an American is not always important to a German - and why should a German write in English then? The value of expressing yourself in your native language is sadly underestimated today. |
