生平

[編輯]

阿德勒於1902年12月28日出生在美國紐約市的一個猶太移民家庭。14歲從中學輟學後,成為紐約太陽報的送稿人員,他當時立志想要成為一名記者[1]。不久,阿德勒開始在夜間學習寫作課程,從中他發現以下作者堪稱英雄:柏拉圖亞里斯多德托馬斯·阿奎那約翰·洛克約翰·斯圖爾特·密爾等等[2]。之後,他進入哥倫比亞大學繼續學習,同時還向學生文藝雜誌投稿。儘管由於沒能通過必修的游泳測驗,而沒能獲得學士學位(1983年,哥倫比亞大學授予了他一個榮譽學位以作為補償),阿德勒還是留在了大學,最終得到了一個講師的位置,並獲得了心理學博士學位[3]

1930年,阿德勒前往芝加哥大學,並由之前認識的朋友、新任校長羅伯特·梅納德·哈欽斯安排為芝加哥大學法學院的法律哲學教授。然而他受到了芝加哥的一些哲學家的質疑,這些人對他「能否勝任哲學教授這個職責懷有重大疑問」,並且抵制阿德勒成為該大學哲學系的一分子。而同時,阿德勒也是該學校法學院有史以來第一個非律師出身的教師。

西方世界偉大名著項目的發起人。


1980年,梅耶輕鬆地問阿德勒,如果他去一個荒島,準備帶哪些書,阿德勒回答說是以下11本:
