Judith N. Shklar  

Définition(s)

  • Judith Nisse Shklar (1928–1992), the first female president of the American Political Science Association (1989) and president of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy (1982), was a leading twentieth-century political theorist and faculty member in the Harvard University Department of Government. Author or editor of eleven books and numerous essays and reviews, Shklar played an important role in the reinvigoration of political theory during the second half of the twentieth century, and more particularly in the articulation of a skeptical version of liberal theory that she called the “liberalism of fear.” Shklar was born in Riga, Latvia, on September 24, 1928, and her family relocated to Canada during World War II (1939–1945), traversing a circuitous route from Riga to Montreal by way of Sweden and Japan that Shklar recounted with grim humor in her autobiographical essay “A Life of Learning” (1996).
