Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Practical Knowledge of the Soul

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy · 2015
68/100
👎 Skip It

Rosenstock-Huessy's early dialogue-philosophy text is historically significant — Buber himself acknowledged it as a source — and the family translation lends it an authenticity most academic editions lack. But this is niche-within-niche territory: readers need prior grounding in early twentieth-century European philosophy to follow the argument, and the mainstream critical footprint is minimal. A find for specialists; genuinely inaccessible to everyone else.
