Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (July 6, 1888ndash February 24, 1973) [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ] was a historian and social philosopher, whose work spanned the disciplines of history, theology, sociology, linguistics and beyond. Born in Berlin, Germany into a non-observant Jewish family, the son of a prosperous banker, he converted to Christianity in his late teens, and thereafter the interpretation and reinterpretation of Christianity was a consistent theme in his writings . He met and married Margrit Hüssy in 1914. In 1925, the couple legally combined their names. [In Germany, their family name became "Rosenstock-Hüssy." In the United States, it was adapted to English spelling as "Rosenstock-Huessy." Published references in this article use the latter spelling.] They had a son, Hans, in 1921.

Rosenstock-Huessy served as an officer in the German army during World War I. His experience caused him to reexamine the foundations of liberal Western culture. He then pursued an academic career in Germany as a specialist in medieval law, which was disrupted by the rise of Nazism. In 1933, after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, he emigrated to the United States where he began a new academic career, initially at Harvard University and then at Dartmouth College, where he taught from 1935 to 1957.

Although never part of the mainstream of intellectual discussion during his lifetime, his work drew the attention of W. H. Auden, Harold Berman, Martin Marty, Lewis Mumford, Page Smith, and others. Rosenstock-Huessy may be best known as the close friend of and correspondent with Franz Rosenzweig. Their exchange of letters is considered by scholars of religion and theology to be indispensable in the study of the modern encounter of Jews with Christianity. In his work, Rosenstock-Huessy discussed speech and language as the dominant shaper of human character and abilities in every social context. He is viewed as belonging to a group thinkers who revived post-Nietzschean religious thought. [Harvnb|Cristaudo|2008|p= ]

Early life

Rosenstock-Huessy was born Eugen Friedrich Moritz Rosenstock in Berlin, Germany on July 6, 1888, to Theodor and Paula Rosenstock. His father, a scholarly man, was a banker and a member of the Berlin Stock Exchange. He was the only son among seven surviving children.

at age 17 and was christened at age 18. He remained a devout proponent of Christianity throughout the rest of his life.

After graduating from a secondary school (gymnasium) with very high academic standards and an emphasis on classical languages and literature, Rosenstock-Huessy pursued law studies at the universities of Zurich, Heidelberg, and Berlin. In 1909 the University of Heidelberg granted him a doctorate in law. In 1912 he became a "Privatdozent", a preliminary qualification to becoming a professor, at the University of Leipzig, where he taught constitutional law and the history of law until 1914. [Harvnb|Smith|1990|p= ] [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

In 1914 Rosenstock-Huessy visited Florence, Italy to conduct historical research. There he met Margrit Hüssy, a Swiss art history major. They married later that year. World War I broke out shortly thereafter.

World War I

At the onset of World War I, the German Army drafted Rosenstock-Huessy and stationed him at Western Front, including 18 months at Verdun, until the war’s end. “During this period he organized courses for the troops, replacing the limited instruction in patriotism with broader topics. In 1916, he and his friend, the Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig, also on active duty, exchanged letters on Judaism and Christianity.” [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ] . That correspondence has become well known as a dialog between proponents of the two related religions. Rosenstock-Huessy’s work, "Judaism Despite Christianity", [Harvnb|Rosenstock|Rosenzweig|1969|p= ] . contains much of this correspondence. [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

Interwar period

After World War I, Rosenstock-Huessy became active in labor issues, focusing on improving education as a means to improve the societal standard of living. He returned to academia and started publishing his first noted works.

Labor education

Rosenstock-Huessy did not return to his teaching post at the University of Leipzig. Instead, he obtained a position with Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (Daimler Motor Company), the German car manufacturer, in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1919, he founded and became the editor until 1921 of the first factory newspaper in Germany, the Daimler "Werkzeitung" (Work Newspaper). [Harvnb|Daimler-Benz AG|1991|p= ]

In 1921, Rosenstock founded "Die Akademie der Arbeit" (the Academy of Labor) in Frankfurt/Main. “This institution offered courses and seminars for blue-collar workers, but he resigned in 1923 over differences with the trade union representatives. Nevertheless, he did not give up his involvement with adult education and his efforts to give industrial workers a voice of their own in society.” He co-founded the [http://www.patmos.de/ Patmos Verlag] publishing house, which published works on “new religious, philosophical, and social perspectives.” [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

Return to academia

In 1923, Rosenstock-Huessy received a second doctorate in philosophy from the University of Heidelberg. He then lectured at the Technical University of Darmstadt in the faculty of social science and social history until he was offered a job at the University of Breslau as a full professor of German legal history, a position he held from 1923 until January 30, 1933.

During this period, Rosenstock-Huessy became active in many other ways at the University of Breslau. He helped organize voluntary work service camps— "Löwenberger Arbeitslager" (Löwenberg Work Camp) —for students, young farmers, and young workers to address the living and labor conditions at coal mines in Waldenburg, Lower Silesia. [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

In 1926, Joseph Wittig, a reform-minded Roman Catholic priest, was excommunicated and thus lost his right to teach church history at the University of Breslau. [Harvnb|German Wikipedia|2008|p= ] Rosenstock-Huessy stood by his friend, Wittig, in this affair. In 1927-1928, they co-authored "Das Alter der Kirche" ("The Age of the Church"), which contained two volumes of essays on the history of the Church and a third volume devoted to documents leading up to Wittig’s excommunication. [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

In 1925, he co-founded a journal, "Die Kreatur" ("The Creature"), which was edited by Wittig, a Roman Catholic; Martin Buber, a Jew; and Viktor von Weizsäcker, a Protestant, and lasted until 1930. “Among the contributors were Nicholas Berdyaev, Lev Shestov, Franz Rosenzweig, Ernst Simon, Hugo Bergmann, Rudolf Hallo, and Florens Christian Rang. Each of these men had, between 1910 and 1932, in one way or another, offered an alternative to the idealism, positivism, and historicism that dominated German universities.” [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

Soon after January 30, 1933, when the National Socialists (Nazis) assumed power in Germany, Rosenstock-Huessy resigned from the University of Breslau and departed Germany that year. By the end of 1933, he received an appointment as Lecturer in German Art and Culture at Harvard University with the help of a professor of government there. [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

Publications 1914–1933

Rosenstock-Huessy published his medieval study "Königshaus und Stämme in Deutschland zwischen 911 und 1250" ("The Royal House and the Tribes in Germany between 911 and 1250") [Harvnb|Rosenstock|1914|p= ] in 1914, which he had written in Leipzig and was the source of recognition for his second doctorate. In 1920, Rosenstock-Huessy published "Die Hochzeit des Krieges und der Revolution" ("The Marriage of War and Revolution"), [Harvnb|Rosenstock|1920|p= ] “a collection of current events essays that were replete with visionary thinking and practical warnings of conflicts to come.” [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ] In 1921, Rosenstock-Huessy published "Angewandte Seelenkunde" ("Practical Knowledge of the Soul") [Harvnb|Rosenstock|1921|p=
Alternative translation: "Practical Knowledge of the Soul"] wherein he developed a new method for the social sciences based on language, the spoken word, and his "grammatical approach." He later called this approach "metanomics." [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ] Together with Josef Wittig, a Roman Catholic, he published "Das Alter der Kirche" ("The Age of the Church") [Harvnb|Rosenstock|Wittig|1928|p= ] in 1927-28. That work contained two volumes of essays on the life of the Church and a third volume devoted to documents leading up to Wittig’s excommunication.” [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

“While he was still teaching at Breslau, Rosenstock wrote and published the first of his major works: "Die Europäischen Revolutionen: Volkscharaktere und Staatenbildung" ("The European Revolutions and the Character of Nations; 1931"). [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1931|p= ] [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1951|p= ] This book showed how 1,000 years of European history had been created from five different European national revolutions that collectively came to an end in World War I.” [Harvnb|von Moltke|Huessy|Stahmer|1999|p= ]

Dartmouth College

. He taught at Dartmouth until his retirement in 1957. [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

At Harvard, he had made friends there who helped him in his publishing efforts. His first major writing task was to develop an English-language revision of his earlier book on revolutions, and he soon published "Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man" [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1938|p= ] in 1938. George Allen Morgan, a former Harvard student under Alfred North Whitehead and himself the author of the classic "What Nietzsche Means", subsequently assisted Rosenstock-Huessy in the preparation of "The Christian Future or the Modern Mind Outrun" [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1938|p= ] in 1946. Further, Whitehead had strongly supported Rosenstock-Huessy in his disagreements with members of the Harvard faculty. [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

Renewed labor education

In 1940 he presented a request to US President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and was granted approval to organize a youth training program for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Eleanor Roosevelt and journalist Dorothy Thompson were champions of the proposal. He then founded Camp William James in Tunbridge, Vermont as a prototype for a national peacetime volunteer labor service. “Involving mainly students from Dartmouth, Radcliffe, and Harvard, its purpose was to train young leaders to expand the 7-year-old CCC from a program for unemployed youth into a work service program that would accept volunteers from all walks of life.” [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ] , The entrance of the United States into World War II in 1941 ended this and all other CCC programs because men were needed in the armed services and women became a greater part of the workforce. This concept anticipated the Peace Corps by more than two decades.

Publications 1933–1973

", Rosenstock-Huessy wrote [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1938|p= ] :

The present time is bound (...) to attempt an organization of future society by which the dynamite of revolution may be manipulated as persistently and consciously as contractors use real dynamite in building tunnels or roads.

During 1956 through 1958, Rosenstock-Huessy developed the principle of metanomics in his two-volume "Soziologie" ("Sociology")—Volume I: "On the Forces of Common Life" ("When Space Governs)" [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1956|p= ] and Volume II: "On the Forces of History" ("When the Times Are Obeyed"). [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1958|p= ] During 1963 through 1964, he further developed this principle in Volumes I & II of, "Die Sprache des Menschengeschlechts: Eine Leibhaftige Grammatik in Vier Teilen" [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1963|p= ] [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1964|p= ] ("The Speech of Mankind: A Personal Grammar in Four Parts"). [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ] Whereas "Soziologie" is unavailable in English, Rosenstock-Huessy's "Speech and Reality" is an English-language introduction to that work. [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1970a|p= ] A collection of his writings, "I Am an Impure Thinker" [Harvnb|Rosenstock-Huessy|1970b|p= ] offers a good overview of Rosenstock-Huessy's thought processes.

Transitions

Rosenstock-Huessy's wife, Margrit, died in 1959. In 1960, Freya von Moltke became Rosenstock-Huessy's companion. She is the widow of Helmuth James von Moltke, who had opposed National Socialism and was executed by the Nazis. [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]

After World War II and continuing through his retirement from Dartmouth, Rosenstock-Huessy was a frequent guest professor at many universities in Germany and the United States. He remained active in lecturing and writing until his final years. His output comprises more than 500 essays, articles, and monographs, as well as 40 books. He was awarded an honorary doctoral degree in 1958 at the University of Münster. [Harvnb|McDuffee|2004|p= ] Rosenstock-Huessy died on February 24, 1973. [Harvnb|Argo Books, Inc.|1999|p= ]
