EUGENE THOMAS LONG: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Eugene Thomas Long is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Philosophy in the University of South Carolina. He was born in Richmond, Virginia, March 16, 1935, the first of three children of Eugene Thomas Long, Jr. and Emily Barker Long. After graduating from John Marshall High School in Richmond, Gene commuted to Randolph-Macon College where he was a student of Economics. His interest in economic theory led him to the study of philosophy where he focused on the history of philosophy, American philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. His teacher, Burnell Pannill, was himself a specialist in American philosophy with particular research interests in John Fiske, a nineteenth-century disciple of Herbert Spencer and rebel against religious orthodoxy. Gene says that his affection and respect for those who teach and write philosophy grew quickly. He jokes, however, that commuting to college, working thirty hours weekly as a florist and playing trombone on the weekends provided more opportunities for speeding tickets than philosophical discussion.

During his senior year, Gene interviewed for several jobs and was torn between the prospects of a steady income, interests in the academic study of religion, and what he believed should be the role of religious institutions in the emerging new south. An almost chance interview with Dean Canon of the Duke University Divinity School resulted in Gene's decision to attend Duke University to study for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. Later, Gene says, he came to appreciate Dean Canon as a person of insight and wisdom, but on that day he become rather annoyed at the Dean's line of questioning. After a few minutes Gene arose saying, "Dean Canon, I do not know if I want to attend any divinity school, much less Duke," to which Canon replied, "Boy, you are coming to Duke." And he did.

American thought was particularly strong at Duke and Gene would eventually serve as a student assistant in American thought and the philosophy of religion. He often expresses his appreciation for the academic track which allowed considerable flexibility in electing courses, sometimes to the dismay of his advisor. Among his teachers was Shelton Smith whose lectures on the liberal tradition in American religious thought and seminar on Jonathan Edwards had a significant impact upon Gene's intellectual development. Gene also expresses particular appreciation for Robert Cushman's lectures on systematic theology and his seminar on Plato in which he was introduced to Cushman's somewhat existentialist reading of

350 EUGENE LONG: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Plato's theory of knowledge. He was first introduced to contemporary European thought in a significant way through Hugh Anderson's course on the search for the historical Jesus and Durwood Foster's seminar on Paul Tillich. Gene had been reading existential philosophy on his own and he says that he felt immediately at home in Tillich' s existential approach to natural theology.

Hugh Anderson, a Scotsman and a graduate of the University of Glasgow, encouraged Gene to consider further studies at Glasgow where the primary research interests of the faculty were on the impact of recent continental philosophy upon religious thought. While at Duke, however, Gene had met Carolyn Macleod, a postgraduate student in mathematics and education. With marriage on the horizon, such a venture seemed to Gene to be problematic. But not to Lyn, who said that she would get a teaching position in Glasgow in order to support them. Following their marriage on June 25, 1960 in Carmel, New York, Lyn and Gene set sail for Glasgow with, as Gene says, enough money to live for a month and return home if Lyn were unable to secure a teaching position. Commuting to school and the University on a motor scooter, Gene says that they were quickly introduced both to black ice and the warmth of Scottish hospitality. After sliding across the road on a frosty morning and bouncing up against the curb, the first words they heard came from a woman who rushed from one of the shops asking, "Would you like a cup of tea?" Lyn and Gene felt immediately at home in Scotland and they still manage every few years to "return home" to visit friends.

Gene often remarks that he considers himself fortunate to have been at Glasgow at the time he was. The Glasgow faculty were working on the cutting edge of the implications for religious thought of recent work in phenomenology, existential philosophy and hermeneutics. They were not, however, narrowly continental in outlook, and they took seriously issues being raised by studies in philosophical analysis. It was, according to Gene, an exciting place to be and echoing a country song he says, "We were reading Heidegger and Gadamer before it was cool." Gene began his research under the direction of John Macquarrie, then in the early stages of his academic career. He had just completed his second book on the demythologizing controversy and was working with Edward Robinson on the translation of Being and Time. Two years later when Macquarrie was appointed Professor of Systematic theology at Union Theological Seminary in New York, Ronald Gregor Smith became Gene's research director. Macquarrie and Gregor Smith were in many ways quite different in their approaches. Gregor Smith was at home in the Enlightenment and the Renaissance, and had published a book on Hamann. His own thinking, however, was also much influenced by contemporary European philosophy and theology. Like many who speak of Gregor Smith, Gene often mentions his wife, Dr. Kathe Gregor Smith, whose ears as well as her erudition and

EUGENE LONG: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY 351

grace, he says, must have been severely tested as she sat weekly with him and two other postgraduate students encouraging them in their stumbling efforts to translate orally Kant's Kritik der reinen Vemunft. Gene spent the summer of 1963 as a research student at Marburg University, and the following spring completed the Ph.D at Glasgow with a dissertation entitled Jaspers and Bultmann: A Dialogue Between Philosophy and Theology in the Existentialist Tradition. Several chapters from the dissertation provided the basis for his first book.

In 1964 Gene joined the faculty of philosophy of his alma mater where, he says, he inherited a tradition in which many of the best students at the college majored in philosophy in preparation for postgraduate studies in a variety of fields. Gene says that his former teacher and then department chair could not have been more encouraging. He adds somewhat wistfully that departmental meetings were often conducted while on the way for a cup of coffee. While in Ashland, two children were born, Scott Alexander and Kathryn Twiname. During the academic yearl968-69 Gene and his family lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina where Gene was a Research Fellow in the Duke University-University of North Carolina Cooperative Program in the Humanities and a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Research Fellow. Following that year they returned to Ashland. A year later he accepted an appointment to the faculty of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina where he became Chair of the Department in 1972, a position he retained untill987, much longer, he says, than he ever intended. It was not easy for him to leave his alma mater where he had become deeply involved in faculty service as well as teaching and research, but he and his family quickly adapted to the new life in South Carolina.

Many of Gene's publications fall into the general categories of twentieth century philosophy, philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion. His first book was a study of Karl Jaspers and Rudolph Bultmann on the issues of philosophical and religious knowledge of transcendence, philosophical and religious faith, and the language of faith. In a later book he followed up similar issues in a discussion of John Macquarrie's philosophical theology which had by that time become an important influence on his thinking. Over the years Gene published a number of articles on late nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophers and theologians which helped prepare the way for his recent book, Twentieth­Century Western Philosophy of Religion 1900-2000. The primary roots of Gene's own reflections on religion are to be found in the German existentialist and recent European traditions in philosophy and theology which he brings into conversation with the broader tradition of radical empiricism. This background informs his approaches to issues in religious knowledge and metaphysics where he focuses in particular on what he calls the transcendent dimensions of ordinary human experience. The justification of religious belief, he argues, has less to do with proofs for the

352 EUGENE LONG: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

existence of God and more to do with making connections or building bridges of understanding between transcendent dimensions of ordinary human experience and religious experience as formed in particular historical contexts.

Gene was elected by his colleagues to the Presidencies of The Society for Philosophy of Religion and The Metaphysical Society of America and he has lectured at many universities and conferences in Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Ecuador, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Russia, Scotland and the United States. He has also served in a variety of leadership roles within the university and the wider national and international academic community. Since 1990, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal for Philosophy of Religion. He also serves as Editor of the Handbook of Contemporary Philosophy of Religion. Gene has been a member of the editorial boards of The Works of William James, The Correspondence of William James, and the Southern Journal of Philosophy. He has also served as Secretary Treasurer of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association, a member of the program committee for the World Congress of Philosophy, and a member of the South Carolina Humanities Council. He continues to serve as a member of the advisory board of the Franklin J. Matchette Foundation and as an advisor to Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Straying not far from Columbia, South Carolina, where Kathy and her family live and Atlanta, Georgia where Scott and his family live, Lyn and Gene divide their time between Chapin, South Carolina, the so-called capital of Lake Murray, and Sapphire Valley in the mountains of North Carolina. Both places provide outlets for Gene's love of the outdoors and it does not take much to get him to tell you of a series of articles on early culture, thought and religion in the North Carolina mountains that he wrote for a mountain newspaper. His stories of moonshine, snake handling, people and animals, he often jokes, attracted many more personal responses than any of his more academic works.
