- W4307103695 abstract "From the Editor Arien Mack my cherished colleague richard bernstein died this summer at the age of 90. He came to the New School in 1989 and was a shining beacon of wisdom, profound learning, generosity, compassion, and optimism for the 33 years he was among us. He was one of the most distinguished members of our faculty and played a central role in my life at the New School. Not only did he help to create the New University in Exile Consortium, which we launched at the New School in the fall of 2018, but he also led its weekly scholar seminars in its first year and continued to regularly attend these meetings until the spring of this past year when he became ill. He was also a frequent contributor to this journal, starting in 1990, a year after he arrived at the New School, when he wrote a memorable piece about Richard Rorty, and then soon again in 1992 for our special issue Frontiers in Social Inquiry and many times thereafter. We would like to dedicate this issue of the journal to Dick and to reprint here the letter that Will Milberg, dean of the New School for Social Research, sent to the NSSR community right after Dick's death.

Bernstein, Vera List Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, passed away on July 4 at the age of 90. You can read his official obituary here: https://www.hzfuneralhome.com/obituaries/richard-bernstein. As I wrote just a few days ago in his retirement announcement, Dick (as we knew him) was an iconic figure in the Philosophy Department, at the NSSR and The New School, and in the field of philosophy [End Page x] in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He was a premier philosopher of pragmatism, a particularly American branch of philosophy, and was also one of few philosophers able to clearly bridge continental and Anglo-American thinkers. While he was known around the world, Dick was a son of New York City, with an unmistakable Brooklyn accent. He was born here on May 14, 1932, and while attending Midwood High School, he met Carol, who became a renowned literary theorist at Bryn Mawr College and his beloved wife of 67 years. He studied philosophy as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, earned a bachelor's degree at Columbia University, and received his PhD from Yale University in 1958. There, he wrote his dissertation on John Dewey's Metaphysics of Experience, commencing his lifelong association with Dewey and American pragmatism. He taught as a Fulbright scholar at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, then as faculty at Yale and Haverford College before joining the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science (now the NSSR) in 1989. Among his many honors and awards was an honorary doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires, given in 2018. During his 33 years at The New School, Dick was a leader in both scholarship and faculty governance. He served as chair of the Philosophy Department multiple times and was dean of the Graduate Faculty from 2002 to 2004. Even after leaving these leadership positions, he continued to be a strong faculty voice, and, most importantly, was committed to academic openness, radical and critical thinking, and humanism in its best form. This list of leadership roles doesn't capture the liveliness of his intellect and his commitment to principle, combined with the empathy and warmth that he brought to all his interactions with New School colleagues and students. Dick maintained close personal and intellectual relationships with Hannah Arendt as well as with Jacques Derrida, Agnes Heller, and other renowned philosophers who link us from our origins as the University in Exile through today's NSSR. Together with Heller and Reiner Schürmann, he helped usher in a new [End Page xi] era for the Philosophy Department at The New School while keeping it connected to its intellectual and moral mission, wrote former New School President Jonathan Fanton.
