Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (1888–1973) was a German historian, sociologist, and social philosopher whose work spanned history, theology, sociology, and linguistics. He is best known for developing speech thinking or dialogicism, a philosophical approach emphasizing language as a responsive and creative act fundamental to social existence. After leaving Germany in 1933 as Hitler rose to power, he spent the remainder of his life in the United States, teaching at Harvard and Dartmouth College.
