Marvin Bressler (April 10, 1923-July 7, 2010) educator and scholar, worked within the academy and with government institutions to help to build the humanistic foundations of post-World War II American sociology. He was a leading figure in a social science movement which was to serve as "the practical arm of moral philosophy." As such, Bressler is a direct intellectual link to the Durkheimian methodological postulate which states that the rules of the sociological method are the scientific prerequisites of what is colloquially known as modernity and democracy (modern politics). It was this intellectual concern that fueled Bressler's research and theoretical contributions concerning "the moral implications of sociobiology." Sociologists who work in a Bresslerian tradition tend to have a profound sense of moral obligation which operates on five guiding principles: critical engagement with democratic ideals (hope), humility in the creation of research questions (humor), rigorous study design (insistence), responsibility to the discipline (calling), distance and cumulation (integrity). As an administrator, Bressler led research committees whose findings reshaped the admissions, advising, and pedagogical practices that contributed to the continuing desegregation of Princeton University. As Roger Straus Williams Professor of Social Sciences Emeritus, he advised hundreds of individuals both within and beyond Princeton University over the course of his career. He played a direct role in developing the careers of academics, activists, and professionals in both the public and private sectors. As an academic, Bressler was interested in the implications of sociobiology, the liberal tradition, ideologies of pluralism, and the role of the intellectual. Like many scholars of the time, his work remains preserved largely in the notes of his students who later worked to publish a volume of collected essays, articles and chapters. External links
