| Abstract | Douglas Ehninger and Wayne Brockriede have both proposed the possibility of "arguers-as-lovers." To get a better idea of how this "lover" stance might actually look, an examination of two individuals engaged in arguing would be useful. The written correspondence between two young scholars, Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (a Christian) and Franz Rosenzweig (a Jew), written from their respective situations in the German army during World War I, proves to be a robust, loving, fertile dialogue between personal friends whose theological positions have often been characterized as mutually antagonistic. As a personal scholarly enterprise of inquiry, correction, and encouragement this correspondence reflects elusive yet promising tendencies as an enterprise of human interaction and reveals persons in process more than positions in conflict. Two themes support this thesis--the first theme shows a high degree of investment of each person with the other, which nourishes and strains the dialogue. This investment is manifested not only in the backgrounds of the person and the situation of the correspondence, but also in specific features of the letters. A second theme develops around the structural variety of the letters. The results of this critical dialogue can help in understanding the arguing process. For the two writers, instead of its being a "place to stand," it became a way to dwell together. (Fifty-nine notes are included.) (MS) |
