Charles Taylor Wins Kluge Prize

Yesterday, Librarian of Congress James Billington announced that philosophers Charles Taylor and Jürgen Habermas would share this year’s $1.5 million John W. Kluge Prize for Achievement in the Study of Humanity. At the announcement, Billington described Charles Taylor as “a philosopher of extraordinary eminence … His writings reveal astonishing breadth and depth, ranging across subjects as diverse as metaphysics, modern culture, human conduct and behaviour, modernization and the place of religion in a secular age. He writes with a lucidity that makes his work accessible to the non-specialist reader, ensuring that his contributions to our understanding of agency, freedom, spirituality and the relation between the natural sciences and the humanities will be of lasting import.”
