German term
das Andere zu sehen
German to English
Art/Literary
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Wie Sie auf den kommenden Seiten sehen werden, sind meine Arbeits- und Tätigkeitsbereiche - als Wissenschafterin und Publizistin, als Herausgeberin und als Künstlerin - eng miteinander verbunden. Das richtige Sehen, zentral für die Künstlerin, braucht es auch für die kritische Auseinandersetzung der Politikwissenschafterin mit der Gesellschaft. Zu Interesse und Neugier kommt für mich etwas Entscheidendes hinzu: Offenheit, Achtung und Respekt vor dem Neuen, noch Unbekannten. Und die Bereitschaft, erst das Verbindende, dann ***das Andere zu sehen***.

to first recognize how things are related, then what makes them unique/singular
OR:
what sets them apart
I most often favor the verb form above the noun - personal preference.

look... for divisions
"..Along with a willingness to first look for connections, then for divisions."
A translation should not sound like an "explanation" of the German original.
