Zurück in das Wagnis der Sprache by Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy. Verlag Die blaue Eule, Essen, 1997. Hardbound, 80 pages. This is a fictitious letter, supposedly written by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus to the Greek philosopher Parmenides. Parmenides teaches concepts and abstractions; Heraclitus represents active life, where names and serious speech reign. Assuming the role of Heraclitus, Rosenstock-Huessy attacks the German philosopher Martin Heidegger as a modern Parmenides. ISBN: 3-89206-818-6 Price available on order |
