(University Archives photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bluhm, who was a member of the Rochester faculty for 36 years\u2014from 1957 to 1993\u2014died in November at the age of 95. His research focused on political philosophy, ethics and public policy, and political culture.<\/p>\n<p>During his long academic career, he worked on systematic philosophical questions regarding\u00a0the ways humans arrive at moral judgments and decisions. In later years, Bluhm studied how evolving technologies necessarily created new moral challenges and dilemmas.<\/p>\n<p>As work got under way to sequence the human genome, Bluhm predicted that eventually scientists would be able to write a description for creating a human being, which would necessarily lead to the essential ethical and philosophical question of what exactly \u201chuman\u201d means. With the advance of life-extending health care technologies, he asked pointedly what constituted \u201cgood quality of life\u201d and \u201cwho or what, at what point, cuts off life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His most recent research, framed in the classical, philosophical tradition, focused on the systematic ethical frameworks available to help answer complex policy questions.<\/p>\n<p>In a 1988 paper presented at the Association for Public Policy Analysis &amp; Management (APPAM) research conference in Seattle, he asked his audience how \u201cin a pluralist and secular society such as ours\u201d one can satisfactorily bring to bear the ideas of ethics, that are often privately held beliefs, to general \u201cdilemmas of public policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018ethical\u2019 is a word that has always been used interchangeably with the expressions \u2018the good\u2019 and \u2018the right,\u2019 and these conceptions have traditionally been governed by religion, philosophy, and (more recently), ideology,\u201d wrote Bluhm in his conference paper. \u201cOne will find a Christian ethic, a Jewish ethic, a Libertarian ethic, or a Welfare Liberal ethic. How does this congeries of differing principles of \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018right\u2019 fit with the concept of \u2018public\u00a0policy\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBluhm was widely well liked,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/polisci.duke.edu\/people\/david-w-rohde\">David Rohde<\/a> \u201971 (PhD), the Ernestine Friedl Professor of Political Science at Duke University, who took two of Bluhm\u2019s graduate classes.<\/p>\n<p>Rohde came to Rochester when the PhD program in political science was still in its infancy\u2014barely five years old. \u201cWe were the largest cohort of PhD students then,\u201d recalls Rohde. \u201cAll 12 of us\u2014more than faculty members.\u201d\u00a0 As part of a \u201cpassionate, assertive\u201d group, Rohde remembers plenty of interaction and lively arguments in Bluhm\u2019s seminar on political philosophy, which was a required introductory class for all incoming PhD students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was always a challenge for Ted to manage us,\u201d chuckles Rohde. \u201cSometimes he would just get elbowed out of the way.\u201d Rohde also interacted with Bluhm on a more personal level: the then newly married Rohde and his wife sometimes looked after Bluhm\u2019s young children when Ted and Eleanor (Elly) Bluhm went out of town for a weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of his distinguished career, Bluhm authored seven books spanning more than four decades: <em>Theories of the Political System\u00a0<\/em>(Prentice-Hall, 1965), <em>Building an Austrian Nation: The Political Integration of a Western State\u00a0<\/em>(Yale University Press, 1973), <em>Ideologies and Attitudes: Modern Political Culture\u00a0<\/em>(Prentice-Hall, 1974),\u00a0<em>The Paradigm Problem in Political Science\u00a0<\/em>(Carolina Academic Press, 1982),\u00a0<em>Force or Freedom? The Paradox in Modern Political Thought\u00a0<\/em>(Yale University Press, 1984),<em>\u00a0The World of the Policy Analyst: Science, Values, and Rationality\u00a0<\/em>(co-author) (Chatham House, 1990), and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mypearsonstore.com\/bookstore\/product.asp?isbn=0131893432\"><em>Ethics and Public Policy: Method and Cases<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(co-author) (Prentice-Hall, 2007).<\/p>\n<p>His last book was co-authored with <a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginativeconservative.org\/author\/robert-a-heineman\">Robert Heineman<\/a>,\u00a0the Joseph Kruson Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Alfred University. Heineman, who had been a collaborator and friend for almost 40 years, says what impressed him most was Bluhm\u2019s deep knowledge of political philosophy and classical thinkers. \u201cTed did not study the thought of the past in isolation from other considerations. Probably his most important contribution to his field was his ability to apply philosophical thought as both a foundation and framework for current issues and controversies,\u201d Heineman wrote on Bluhm\u2019s memorial page. \u201cThe profession has lost an outstanding scholar, and I have lost a good friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1923 in Newark, New Jersey, Bluhm served during World War II in the US Army Signal Corps from 1943 to 1946 that took him to North Africa, Italy, France, Germany and Austria, and\u00a0was awarded the\u00a0Bronze Star\u00a0Medal for bravery under fire.\u00a0Upon discharge from the Army, Bluhm resumed and finished his undergraduate studies at Brown University. In 1949, he earned a master\u2019s degree from Tufts University\u2019s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and subsequently a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1957, where he wrote his dissertation on \u201cCatholic Theories on the Corporate State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He returned to the University of Rochester that same year, having already worked at the University as an instructor in political science in 1952.\u00a0 Back for good in 1957 and with a PhD under his belt, he started as an assistant professor and by 1967 had risen through the ranks to full professor. Along the way, Bluhm received numerous research awards, including a year&#8217;s Fulbright fellowship to Vienna, Austria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTed was the guiding force behind the University\u2019s Stammtisch, or German table, which met for years in the Faculty Club,\u201d recalls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/psc\/stone\/\">Randall Stone<\/a>, professor of political science at the University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe kept the conversation roaring along in German with his good humor and personal anecdotes.\u00a0One I remember in particular was his imitation of the German-born Harvard professor Carl Friedrich, when trying to explain to his students how to pronounce the name of the ancient Greek historian, Thucydides:\u00a0\u2018No, it is Zukidides, not Zuzidides!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He often wore a green Austrian Loden sports coat to those lunches, remembers Stone, and the last time they met, brought along a bottle of Sp\u00e4tlese (a German late harvest wine).\u00a0Stone says Bluhm\u2019s children tell the story of how they used to beg him to talk to them in Morse code at the dinner table\u2014a remnant from his US Army Signal Corps days\u2014which he was always willing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Few knew that sandwiched between his master\u2019s degree and his PhD was a five-month stint at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a research assistant in the Division of International Relations.\u00a0 This was immediately followed by a one-and-a-half-year assignment as an intelligence officer in Washington D.C. with the US government from 1950 to 1951, during the onset of the Cold War. His wife Elly also worked as an intelligence officer during that time.<\/p>\n<p>The political scientist had many interests and especially enjoyed traveling, bird watching, and reading mystery novels.\u00a0 He also painted water colors and wrote poetry, says Elly Bluhm, to whom he was married for 68 years.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his wife, he is survived by their children Catherine Dolan, Susanna Cullen, and Andrew Bluhm, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colleagues and friends are remembering William (Ted) Bluhm, a
