Berman's 1969 introduction: \"That this book—written six decades ago—is without question an extraordinary book, a remarkable book, a fascinating book, has not saved it from relative obscurity. It is directed against conventional historiography, and for the most part the conventional historians have either ignored it or denounced it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis work embodies original scholarship of the highest professional quality while remaining accessible to readers of general education seeking to understand historical origins and trajectories.

His central insight recognized speech and language not merely as descriptive acts, but as responsive and creative forces forming the basis of social existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Berlin into a non-observant Jewish family, Rosenstock-Huessy converted to Christianity in his late teens and married Margrit Hussy in 1914.

Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933, he immigrated to the United States, teaching at Harvard University and later at Dartmouth College from 1935 to 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardcover Edition Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis hardcover edition from Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers preserves Rosenstock-Huessy's prophetic vision for contemporary readers.
