I write digitally \u2013 not because it is fashionable, but because it opens up new spaces for me: spaces for thinking, listening deeply and creating.<\/p>\n
Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for my own thinking, but a resonating chamber for my thoughts<\/strong>. It helps me find forms, organise voices and distil language to its essence.<\/p>\n I write because I want to believe that words can make a difference. I write to understand \u2013 myself, the world and humanity.<\/p>\n Writing is also a form of self-reflection for me. I look back on my life, its turning points, its questions and its moments of wonder \u2013 and try to shape meaning through words.<\/p>\n It is a process of maturation, an inner growth that reaches a new stage with every text.<\/p>\n Some call it wisdom. I call it continuing to ask questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I write because I see myself as part of a long tradition of thinkers, writers and seekers.<\/p>\n Historical figures accompany me: Montaigne, the pioneer of the essay, whose Essays<\/em> always remained explorations rather than final answers.<\/p>\n Erasmus of Rotterdam, the great European humanist. I engage with them through their writings, their ideas and their convictions.<\/p>\n They bring history to life for me.<\/p>\n And I write because the present demands a response.<\/p>\n My novel Amour pour l’Alsace<\/em> and my play Will Ulrike Return?<\/a><\/em> are responses to social tensions \u2013 terrorism, radicalisation and the breakdown of communication.<\/p>\n The Third Generation<\/a><\/em> raises questions about our responsibility.<\/p>\n
