In that group, we expect to start a discussion of Rosenstock-Huessy and Rosenzweig, one in which we can take up Mark Lilla’s dismissal of Rosenstock-Huessy as Rosenzweig’s “confused young friend.” Then we can also engage Lilla via his recent book, The Stillborn God: Religion, Politics, and the Modern West, since he makes questionable judgments about Rosenzweig in that acclaimed work.

Further, our group can take advantage of the fact that Dartmouth will have held a July 2008 conference on the theme “Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy/Franz Rosenzweig: The Dimensions of a Relationship.” One of the instigators of that event was Dartmouth professor Susannah Heschel, daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, whom I quoted at the beginning of Chapter 2. Among the scheduled speakers at the conference are Wayne Cristaudo, author of a forthcoming work on Rosenstock-Huessy and Rosenzweig; Michael Gormann-Thelen, former head of the Rosenstock-Huessy Society in Germany; and Dartmouth professors Michael Ermarth and Donald Pease.

Finally, our group can expand the Rosenstock-Huessy Web discussion by linking to the new and comprehensive Web article on his work. Written by Wayne Cristaudo, it is at:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rosenstock-huessy.

There one can read about the over 1,000 letters that Margrit Rosenstock received from Franz Rosenzweig while he was writing The Star of Redemption. Those letters (in German) are now posted at
