Harvard Professor Stanley Hoffmann Has Died

He used to publish prodigiously at the New York Review, especially during the early 1990s, when I was in graduate school. (Most of his work there is gated, but not this piece, "Bush Abroad.")

I always saw him as more of a great public intellectual rather than a theory-driven political scientist. Wise and urbane.

See the New York Times, "Stanley Hoffmann, Who Brought Passion to Foreign Policy Analysis, Dies at 86."

Also from Peter Gourevitch, at Duck of Minerva, "Stanley Hoffmann’s approach to studying politics: in memoriam 1928-2015."

And see Art Goldhammer, "Stanley Hoffmann Was One of the Great Professors of Our Time."
