Timeline

1930

Milton Gordon (1930-2005) was a biochemist who attended University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois, earning his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree at 23 and joining the faculty at the University of Washington in 1959, focusing on plant genetics.

1966

Peter Eli Gordon (born 1966) is a historian of philosophy, a critical theorist, and intellectual historian.

The Amabel B. James Professor of History at Harvard University, Gordon focuses on continental philosophy and modern German and French thought, with particular emphasis on the German philosophers Theodor Adorno and Martin Heidegger, critical theory, continental philosophy during the interwar crisis, and most recently, secularization and social thought in the 20th century.

Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1966, Peter Gordon was the son of Sunnie and Milton Gordon.

1988

Peter Gordon received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College (1988) after a stint at the University of Chicago.

1997

He studied with Martin Jay at University of California, Berkeley, from which he received his PhD degree (1997).

1998

Gordon spent two years (1998–2000) at the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts at Princeton University before joining the faculty at Harvard in 2000.

2003

Gordon's first book, Rosenzweig and Heidegger: Between Judaism and German Philosophy (University of California Press, 2003), about Martin Heidegger and the German-Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig, won the Salo W. Baron Prize from the Academy for Jewish Research for Best First Book, the Goldstein-Goren Prize for Best Book in Jewish Philosophy, and the Morris D. Forkosch Prize from the Journal of the History of Ideas for Best Book in Intellectual History.

2006

In 2006 he became a member of Harvard's permanent faculty, and in 2005 he received the Phi Beta Kappa Award for Excellence in Teaching.

2010

In Continental Divide: Heidegger, Cassirer, Davos (Harvard University Press, 2010), Gordon reconstructs the famous 1929 debate between Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer at Davos, Switzerland, demonstrating its significance as a point of rupture in Continental thought that implicated all the major philosophical movements of the day.

Continental Divide was awarded the Jacques Barzun Prize from the American Philosophical Society in 2010.

2016

Gordon's more recent monograph, Adorno and Existence (Harvard University Press, 2016), reinterprets Theodor W. Adorno's philosophy by looking at the critical theorist's encounters with existentialism and phenomenology.

The main claim of the book is that Adorno was inspired by the unfulfilled promise of these schools to combat traditional metaphysical thinking, which led to the development of his "negative dialectics".

Gordon sits on the editorial boards of Constellations, Modern Intellectual History, The Journal of the History of Ideas, and New German Critique.

He is co-founder and co-chair of the Harvard Colloquium for Intellectual History. Gordon regularly teaches two survey courses on continental philosophy: German Social Thought and French Social Thought, and also regularly teaches an intensive lecture course on Hegel and Marx.
