Overview

Daniel Bell (May 10, 1919 – January 25, 2011) was an American sociologist, writer, editor, and professor at Harvard University, best known for his contributions to the study of post-industrialism. He has been described as "one of the leading American intellectuals of the postwar era". His three best known works are The End of Ideology, The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, and The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism. Biography Early life Daniel Bell was born in 1919 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. His parents, Benjamin and Anna Bolotsky, were Jewish immigrants, originally from Eastern Europe. They worked in the garment industry. His father died when he was eight months old, and he grew up poor, living with relatives along with his mother and his older brother Leo. When he was 13 years old, the family's name was changed from Bolotsky to Bell. Education Bell was graduated from Stuyvesant High School. He received a bachelor's degree from the City College of New York in 1938, and completed graduate work at Columbia University during the 1938–1939 academic year. He received a PhD in sociology from Columbia in 1961 after he was permitted to submit The End of Ideology: On the Exhaustion of Political Ideas in the Fifties (a 1960 essay collection), instead of a conventional doctoral dissertation.

Notable quotes

“I was born in galut [exile] and I accept—now gladly, though once in pain—the double burden and the double pleasure of my self-consciousness, the outward life of an American and the inward secret of the Jew. I walk with this sign as a frontlet between my eyes, and it is as visible to some secret others as their sign is to me.”
— “Reflections on Jewish Identity” // Commentary, 1961
“It is equally clear that what an individual often wants for himself (such as an open highway) in the aggregate becomes a nightmare.”
— Introduction, The Disjunction of Realms, p. 21
“Today, the culture can hardly, if at all, reflect the society in which people live.”
— Chapter 2, The Disjunction of Cultural Discourse, p. 95
“Every society seeks to establish a set of meanings through which people can relate themselves to the world.”
— Chapter 4, Toward the Great Instauration, p. 146
“The virtue of the market is that it disperses responsibility.”
— Chapter 5, Unstable America, p. 197
“What makes the spectacle of Western bourgeois society so repulsive is the waste and squander of resources on needless products of status or display (e.g., the large, heavy automobile; the extravagant packaging of consumer items) for the sake of consumption.”
— Chapter 6, The Public Household, p. 274
