Abstract

This article deals with Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy's Denkstil, especially focusing on his historical and sociological works. Starting with the question of whether Rosenstock-Huessy was a social historian avant la lettre, it discusses Rosenstock-Huessy's theory of revolutions and his cross of reality as the most significant outcomes of his historical research after the shock of World War I. Due to the fact that Rosenstock-Huessy opposes the modern concept of a crossed-out God and criticizes what he called positivism and historicism, the essay will discuss the modernist and conservative character of his Denkstil as an example for Posthistoire-thinking and meta-history.
