Morris R. Cohen and the scientific ideal

David A. Hollinger

4.9/5 (21024 ratings)

Description:Morris R. Cohen (1880-1947) was the first Russian-born Jew to 'make it' in American intellectual circles. Highly regarded in his day as a professional philosopher and as a secular moralist, Cohen served as an exemplar for what it meant to be 'an intellectual' and 'a liberal'. He was a teacher of legendary charisma and influence at the City College of New York and at the New School for Social Research. Among his students were many of the most prominent scholars and writers of the generation following his own, including Lewis Feuer, Sidney Hook, Ernest Nagel, Paul Goodman, Louis Finklestein, Joseph P. Lash, William Barrett, Bertram Wolfe, Morton White, and Paul Weiss. Cohen was so distinctly a creature of his own time that his work was unable to attract much attention in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. One purpose of this book is to discover the sources of Cohen's appeal in earlier decades and to assess his role in American intellectual history.…Hollinger critically analyzes the full range of Cohen's contributions to metaphysics, jurisprudence, the philosophy of history, and the philosophy of science. This last subject is of special importance, because Cohen was one of the founders of this branch of philosophy in its modern form. He was a powerful exponent of the expanding 'scientific culture' in the United States generally, although he resisted most efforts to 'scientize' the non-sciences or to harden the soft sciences into intellectual inflexibility.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
