Stanley Hoffmann was born on November 27, 1928 in Vienna (*1928 –†2015). His Austrian mother took him to France in 1929, where they spent the next ten years in Nice and Paris, right up to the beginning of the Second World War, where the menace of Hitler’s troops was looming all over the French territory. The end of the hostilities in 1945 marked the very same year in which Stanley Hoffmann finished high school, and the doors to university study were opened. Simultaneously, he was to study political science and law in Paris (diploma from the Institute of Political Studies in 1948, diploma from the Institute of Advanced International Studies in 1950, licence in law in 1948, and doctorate of law in 1953). In addition, there was an M.A. degree in Government from Harvard University in 1952. He was assistant secretary of the French Association of Political Science in 1952-1953, and 1955. This year also marked his appointment as Instructor at Harvard, and the beginning of a brilliant teaching career: professor of Government since 1963, chairman of the Center for European Studies from 1969 to 1995, Douglas Dillon Chair of the Civilization of France from 1980, and an invitation to occupy the Chair of American Civilization at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, 1983-1984.
