阿德勒于1902年12月28日出生在美国纽约市的一个犹太移民家庭。14岁从中学辍学后,成为纽约太阳报的送稿人员,他当时立志想要成为一名记者[1]。不久,阿德勒开始在夜间学习写作课程,从中他发现以下作者堪称英雄:柏拉图亚里斯多德托马斯·阿奎那约翰·洛克约翰·斯图尔特·密尔等等[2]。之后,他进入哥伦比亚大学继续学习,同时还向学生文艺杂志投稿。尽管由于没能通过必修的游泳测验,而没能获得学士学位(1983年,哥伦比亚大学授予了他一个荣誉学位以作为补偿),阿德勒还是留在了大学,最终得到了一个讲师的位置,并获得了心理学博士学位[3]

1930年,阿德勒前往芝加哥大学,并由之前认识的朋友、新任校长罗伯特·梅纳德·哈钦斯安排为芝加哥大学法学院的法律哲学教授。然而他受到了芝加哥的一些哲学家的质疑,这些人对他“能否胜任哲学教授这个职责怀有重大疑问”,并且抵制阿德勒成为该大学哲学系的一分子。而同时,阿德勒也是该学校法学院有史以来第一个非律师出身的教师。
