Reviews
"Rosenstock-Huessy continually astonishes one by his dazzling and unique insights." --W. H. Auden "I was influenced enough by Rosenstock-Huessy to write a now forgotten book on his theme, Respondeo etsi mutabor , 'I respond although I will be changed.' The motto would be on my coat of arms if I had one." --Martin E. Marty "Rosenstock-Huessy was a prophet who, like many great prophets, failed in his own time but whose time may now be coming." --Harold J. Berman "The historical nature of man is the aspect of reality about which we have been basically and emphatically instructed in the epoch of thought beginning with Hegel. . . . Rosenstock-Huessy has concretized this teaching in so living a way as no other thinker before him has done." --Martin Buber "The sweeping historical insights of Rosenstock-Huessy are some of the sharpest and freshest our age has known." --Walter J. One, SJ
Synopsis
The contributions of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973), one of the most profound and original thinkers of the twentieth century, span several disciplines in the humanities--history, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, religion--although his work is ultimately uncategorizable. In 1933, immediately upon the ascent of Hitler, he emigrated to the United States from Germany, taught at Harvard for two years, and then at Dartmouth College until 1957. His voice was prophetic, urgent, compelling, and it remains relevant. This collection of essays is by a retired professor of history who was a student of Rosenstock-Huessy's in the 1950s and found his lecturing transformative. It is not a nostalgic book, however. It is written with the conviction that Rosenstock-Huessy still needs to be heard, more urgently than ever for the betterment of humankind.
