Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Philosophy professor Béatrice Longuenesse receives this year's Hegel Prize from the city of Stuttgart.
Mayor Frank Nopper (CDU) will not hand over the 12,000 euro award due to the corona pandemic in Stuttgart city hall until June 2022, the state capital announced.
In the opinion of the jury, the professor emeritus on the Silver Endowed Professorship at New York University is currently one of the most internationally recognized philosophers.
"In her work, she has succeeded in picking up very different traditions, issues and cultural impulses in a unique way and bringing them into conversation with one another."
Born in France, she has written standard works on the philosophers Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
She did her doctorate and habilitation at the Sorbonne in Paris and was, among other things, a professor at Princeton University in the USA.
