 Biography of Morris Raphael Cohen | Theses on Morris Raphael Cohen
The American philosopher Morris Raphael Cohen (1880-1947) distinguished himself as an expositor of the nature of a liberal society, as a teacher, and as a defender of academic freedom.Morris R. Cohen was born probably on July 25, 1880, and spent his first years in a Jewish ghetto in Minsk, Russia.
Cohen's publications stand as a positive statement of his faith in a liberal civilization and answer those critics who found in him only the sharp tongue of a nihilist.
Further Reading Cohen's autobiography, A Dreamer's Journey (1949), is a candid depiction of the life of a Jewish immigrant.

 The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 1867–1893   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
According to Cohen’s scheme, the three periods corresponded to three philosophical journals, the Journal of Speculative Philosophy (JSP), established in St. Louis in 1867, the Philosophical Review, established at Cornell University in 1892, and the Journal of Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Methods, which was founded at Columbia University in 1904.
Cohen labeled these three periods of modern American philosophy “the theologic, the metaphysical, and the scientific.” Though I question the adequacy of Cohen’s labels for these periods, he was certainly correct that American philosophy had become increasingly secular.
Davidson’s work with Russian immigrants like Cohen was an expression of the conception of philosophy he shared with his friends in St. Louis, according to which philosophy could serve as an antidote to suicide because it gave meaning to life.

 A Brief Chronology of Collectivism
This was also Cohen's theme--judges were to calculate the social consequences of alternatives open in a given case and make a decision according to a clearly articulated set of social priorities.
Cohen blasted Hans Wustendorfer, Ernst Fuchs, Arthur F. Bentley and Brooks Adams for their denial of "all value to logic and general principles." Cohen's son later boasted that it is from this conference that "much of the social and philosophical consciousness of modern American jurisprudence derives."
Morris Cohen used the phrase "natural law with a changing content" as the slogan for his jurisprudence.

 Peirce's Arisbe: Josiah Lee Auspitz' THE WASP LEAVES THE BOTTLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In the 1920s the fundraising efforts of a student of James and Royce, Morris Raphael Cohen of the City College of New York, enabled Harvard to employ as editors two junior faculty members Charles Hartshorne and Paul Weiss, who were themselves to become important professors of philosophy.
Even Cohen, who had compiled the first Peirce bibliography (1916) and had edited a well-selected anthology of a dozen of Peirce's published essays (1923), had placed him among the lonely pioneers of philosophy whose main influence was in the fruitful suggestions they gave to others.
Charles Morris, an American follower of Tarski and the Vienna Circle who established this terminology in the 1930s, traced his approach to Peirce's first (1867) paper on the topic.

 Confiscation Reality: The Illusion of Controls in the Big Apple
Fifty years ago, the great New York City College philosophy professor Morris Raphael Cohen did a marvelous job of debunking attempts to read absolute values into constitutional property rights.
Rather, inherited wealth, often initially "acquired by the labor of many, by conquest, by business manipulation,"(46) is used to flip heavily leveraged buildings from one owner to another, in and out of corporate shells.
One's property provides such an opportunity."(47) To this justification, Professor Cohen answered: [T]he primary effect of property on a large scale is to limit freedom, since the one thing that private property law does not do is to guarantee a minimum of subsistence or the necessary tools of freedom to everyone.
