The Origin of Speech

Abstract

No scholar, with the exception of Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig, has so successfully attacked the Artistotelian and Cartesian foundations of modern social science as Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy. These new books from Argo Press help to advance our understanding of Rosenstock-Huessy's social thought. For the Communication scholar Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy offers a new foundation for communication theory. He believed that humanity does not depend upon thought, as Descartes taught, but upon response or communication with the other. Therefore communication is the basis for all of life.
