The 2023 Dr. Martin R. Lebowitz and Eve Lewellis Lebowitz Prize for Philosophical Achievement and Contribution has been awarded to Kristie Dotson (University of Michigan) and Susanna Siegel (Harvard University).

Kristie Dotson and Susanna Siegel

The prize, which is awarded by the Phi Beta Kappa Society (ΦBK) in conjunction with the American Philosophical Association (APA), “is presented to a pair of philosophers who hold contrasting (not necessarily opposing) views of an important philosophical question that is of current interest both to the field and to an educated public audience. The associated Lebowitz symposium is presented annually at an APA divisional meeting. To promote the discipline of philosophy to wider audiences, ΦBK also sponsors a public presentation featuring the prize winners”, according to the APA. The prize also includes a $25,000 honorarium for each winner.

The topic Professors Dotson and Siegel; will be taking up in their lecture is “Norms of Attention”. They’ll give their lectures at the February 2024 Central Division Meeting of the APA in New Orleans.*
