In the history of thought, Jan T. Gross is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Jan T. Gross as American historian and sociologist.
Jan T. Gross was born at Warsaw in 1947. His recorded nationality is Polish People's Republic. He studied at University of Warsaw and Yale University.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Princeton University.
The recorded fields of work are sociology.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
Recognition followed: Member of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996).
That the work was done from Polish People's Republic matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
