He was the Professor Emeritus at Claremont McKenna College and Claremont Graduate University and a distinguished fellow of the Claremont Institute. He wrote on Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, Leo Strauss, American constitutionalism, and natural law. He has been published in the ''Claremont Review of Books'', the ''Review of Politics'', ''National Review'', and the ''New York Times''. His most famous work, ''Crisis of the House Divided: An Interpretation of the Issues in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates'', written in 1959, has been described as "the greatest Lincoln book ever." Jaffa was a formative influence on the American conservative movement, challenging notable conservative thinkers including Russell Kirk, Richard M. Weaver, and Willmoore Kendall on Abraham Lincoln and the founding of the United States. He debated Robert Bork on American constitutionalism, and, in 2002, he and Thomas DiLorenzo debated the merits of Abraham Lincoln's statesmanship during the American Civil War. He died in 2015.〔http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/396163/harry-jaffa-rip-yuval-levin〕 ==Early life and education== Jaffa was born in New York City in 1918.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/12/us/politics/harry-v-jaffa-conservative-scholar-and-goldwater-muse-dies-at-96.html?_r=0〕 He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Yale University and a PhD in Political Philosophy from The New School. As a Ph.D. student, he became interested in Abraham Lincoln after discovering a copy of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates in a used bookshop. Jaffa was one of Leo Strauss' first Ph.D. students. His dissertation on Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas later became his first book, ''Thomism and Aristotelianism.'' There, he argues that the Christian beliefs of Aquinas influenced Aquinas' work on Aristotle. Alasdair MacIntyre describes the book as "an unduly neglected minor modern classic." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry V. Jaffa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
