aspiraţia către cunoaştere
Explanation:
LEO traduce pursuit of sth. prin das Streben nach etwas, adică aspiraţia / năzuinţa către ceva. Năzuinţă parcă sună prea arhaic, de asta mai degrabă aş folosi aspiraţia.

Asker: Este o insiruire de valori traditionale, contextul este ca o doamna a preluat aceste valori de la tatal ei care era un preot baptist si se poate subintelege ca sunt valori crestine, dar nu se spune efectiv astfel si atunci nu ar avea rost sa supralicitam. Deci valorile sunt: self-reliance, family, hard work, equal justice, universal brotherhood, the pursuit of knowledge...

Asker: urmarirea cunoasterii mi se pare excelent si e si frumos in context!

Asker: Mulţumesc, Simona, este corect în alt context, dar aici suflul pasajului si in general al intregii carti, este destul de teoretic si de detasat si cu o exprimare absolut complexa, ca sa nu zic altceva... este bine si asa, dar repet, depinde de context!
