[Velikie revoli͡u︡t͡s︡ii: Avtobiografii͡a︡ zapadnogo cheloveka (Russian Edition)

Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973) was among those German cultural figures who left Germany in 1933, when Hitler came to power. He knew and was close to many outstanding religious thinkers: N. Berdyaev, M. Buber, Harvey Cox, Paul Tillich. He spent the second half of his life in USA, and taught at Harvard and Dartmouth College. In this work the author develops an original scheme of European history over the last 1000 years and studies the effect on it of revolutionary upheavals as principal constitutive forces (like geological cataclysms shaping the earth's crust). The originality of Rosenstock-Huessy's thought is that he tries to discover the connections between fateful events and the individual human will, between the passions of history and the passions of the soul.
