English appears to be an excellent transmission of pervasive sentiments. I was told that bilingual Germans find it easier to read Kant’s CPR in English. The reverse is the case from the academics I’ve met studying Hegel. Philosophy, moves on from Kant’s confused exposition from what is transcendental and that which is transcendent. Among those who helped me resolve the problematic to advance Plato’s dialectic, are Lady Mary Shepherd’s Kantian critique of Hume’s causality, as well as Thomas Hill Green’s more Hegelian critique of Hume, Kant and Mill.

This question in Kant about conflict is also in ancient philosophy as well, the dialectic of conflict/schism is I think where psych/philosophy is, but I'm not sure Lacan or other places that end on schism/general world-pessimism is the end. As for English being an excellent transmission of pervasive sentiments...this is why I am learning German, maybe I will be a hip and precise German speaker soon! XD
