Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy: Before and after Marx (1954)
NOTE BY THE EDITOR
This is the text of a lecture in two parts as transcribed by Frances Huessy with the following measures:
- mere oral interjections as “you see”, “so to speak” are eliminated,
- rarely a word is added to make the sentence completely understandable,
- the text is divided into chapters, parts with Roman ciphers, parts with Arabian ciphers, paragraphs (no sentence is lost),
- with added titles to the chapters and headings for the answers given to questions
- the stories told out of the speaker ́s own experience are titled and colored,
- Added are: Contents, an index of names, an index of stories.
The title of the lectures is mentioned by Rosenstock-Huessy himself as “Before and after Marx” – the four disangelists Marx, Freud, Nietzsche, Darwin are not the main theme although the main background.
