TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: J. Glenn Gray and the Lived Experience of Combat
Tuesday 27 May 2025 is the 112th anniversary of the birth of Jesse Glenn Gray (27 May 1913 – 30 October 1977), better known as J. Glenn Gray, who was born in rural Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, on this date in 1913.
J. Glenn Gray wrote a classic memoir of combat experience, The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle, which was, at the same time, a philosophical examination of war and an attempt to settle accounts with his own conscience. Gray came to be deeply influenced by Heidegger and was a key figure in bringing phenomenology and existentialism to America.
