About Jason Stanley
Jason Stanley, born in 1969, is an accomplished American philosopher and the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. His notable contributions lie in the realms of philosophy of language and epistemology, with interdisciplinary influences on linguistics and cognitive science. A prolific writer, Stanley has engaged a wider audience through contributions to The New York Times philosophy blog, The Stone. His political philosophy work, exemplified by the 2015 book “How Propaganda Works,” reflects an integration of linguistic and epistemological tools. Raised in upstate New York in a Jewish family, Stanley pursued his education at institutions like the State University of New York and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His academic journey includes positions at University College, Oxford, Cornell University, the University of Michigan, Rutgers University, and, since 2013, Yale University. Stanley has authored five books, including “How Fascism Works” (2018). His exploration of contemporary politics often draws parallels with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Personally, Stanley’s Jewish background significantly influences his perspective on fascism and commitment to equality. Recognized for his scholarly achievements, he received the American Philosophical Association book prize in 2007 and a PROSE Award in philosophy in 2016.
