Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy Books

Eugen Rosenstock-Hüssy was a historian and social philosopher whose thought spanned history, theology, sociology, and linguistics. His work focused on how speech and language shape human character and abilities across social contexts. As a thinker who revived post-Nietzschean religious thought, Rosenstock-Hüssy examined the foundations of Western culture and its liberal underpinnings, particularly following his experiences in World War I. His writings, influenced by his personal conversion to Christianity, often explored interpretations of that faith. He taught at universities in the United States, and his work influenced the modern encounter between Judaism and Christianity.
