The Royal Institute of Philosophy earlier this month launched the longlist of contenders for the inaugural Nayef Al-Rodhan Worldwide Prize in Transdisciplinary Philosophy.
[Josef Albers, “Never Before”]
The £20,000 prize (previously) is meant to acknowledge books that
display rigorous authentic and high-quality transdisciplinary analysis, are accessible and fascinating to learn, are authentic, modern, and impactful, [and] intend to advance and contribute to the understanding of human behaviours.
The Institute says that they
welcome philosophical work that transcends educational boundaries, and furthers our understanding of the important thing challenges going through the world right this moment, and which will face us sooner or later. The work could also be from philosophers, neuroscientists, social scientists, or from different disciplines.
