While Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University--he taught political and legal philosophy, the history of political thought, Jewish and Hebraic political thought, and philosophy of the social sciences for over four decades--he is the recipient of many awards and fellowships for his research and teaching. Gordon was the founding editor of Hebraic Political Studies. He has written and edited numerous books and is the author of over 100 articles. His current work and recent publications focus on the history and theory of rights, conscience, political authority and obligation, religion and theology in politics, and ethical and political “justification”--all united by an overarching concern with the historical roots of the “modern state” and the “invention,” transmission, and transformation of political concepts.
