Riassunto

You are reading a summary. Far more detailed information is available on www.argobooks.org. This is the electronic package of Thoughts on History. It is a DVD-ROM -- not a CD -- and contains both (1) the original recordings of 2 college lecture series -- 55 hours of lectures -- in mp3 format, as well as (2) every transcript of all of the English-language lectures Rosenstock-Huessy recorded, in computer text format. These lectures discuss what history is and how it works. Rosenstock-Huessy calls Christ the turning point of history: the redemption of the achievements of the ancient world. He declares that the Christian era exists. The four ages of the ancient world are succeeded by the millennia of the Christian era in which one God over many gods has been established, one world out of many worlds has been created, and one society out of the many societies is yet to be created. The course concentrates on the histories of tribes, astral empires, the Greeks, and the Jews. Rosenstock-Huessy links man with speech: he is not only physical, but created by the name another person has bestowed on him. Naming requires speech, and Rosenstock-Huessy sees God as the power that makes men speak. He taught "Universal History" so that people could become brothers with people who lived 7,000 years ago. His purpose is to make one intimate with the people of all other times: create the brotherhood of man through time. He reviewed the Christian reception of older social orders, noting that from Easter to All Saints, a thousand years were spent with inculcating into the tribes, the empires, the cities of the Greeks, and the Jewish priesthood the verity that the same man had to be a prophet, and an ancestor, and a poet, and a priest. And that these four great creations of antiquity could not lie separate. The paper versions of these lectures exist as well. They are bound paper transcripts, each of which should be ordered separately, using the ISBNs 978-0-912148-37-3 or 978-0-912148-51-9.
