Publisher's Description
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, where he had been teaching at the University of Breslau. In the US he was a professor at Harvard University for two years and then moved to Dartmouth College, where he taught until 1957. His voice is prophetic, urgent, and compelling, and it remains relevant. This volume is a compilation of nine essays, written between 1937 and 1961, all but one of them previously unpublished.

“For those who have been impacted by the insights of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, a double reaction is not uncommon: on the one hand, a desire to delve further into his work, but on the other, a feeling of frustration at its sheer volume and interdisciplinarity. This is what makes the recent anthologies of selections from his writings so helpful. The present book is no exception. I hope it gets the wide reading it deserves.”
