A quote from a letter to artists from Pope John Paul II:
In einem Brief an die Künstlerinnen und Künstler schrieb Johannes Paul II. (19.11.1980 in München), dass „nirgends … die Situation, das Lebensgefühl, aber auch der ** Fragehorizont** des heutigen Menschen so eindrucksvoll dargestellt (wird) wie in der heutigen Kunst“.

inquisitiveness
Könnte man dies auch als "Wissendurst" deuten? Dann wäre "inquisitiveness" meines Erachtens treffend.

inquisitive ken
"There is a modest difference in men of merit, that shrinks with apprehension or disgust from an open and unqualified tribute of praise, and they cannot feel easy in a station which subjects them to the eye of public observation, or the inquisitive ken of critical scrutiny."
