The Principality's Prize Awarded Jointly by the Philosophical Meetings and the Prince Pierre of Monaco Foundation

The Founding Members of the Monaco Philosophical Meetings and the Prince Pierre Foundation jointly undertake to award the Principality's Prize each year to an author for his or her entire philosophical work.  This is in recognition for a lifetime of philosophical writing, outstanding work that has opened up new paths in the field of philosophy and has taken different approaches to science, politics, theology, history, anthropology, ethics or psychoanalysis.

Philosopher Jean-Luc Marion, who is a member of the French Academy and was born in 1946 in Meudon, France, is currently Professor Emeritus of the University of Paris - Sorbonne and occupies the Andrew Thomas Greeley and Grace McNichols Chair in Catholic Studies and the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Chicago Divinity School.

Today, Jean-Luc Marion is one of the world's most renowned and most studied philosophers.  His important, highly original work, which is now available in several languages, addresses the most topical philosophical and theological issues and engages our thinking in a deep understanding of our contemporaneity in the light of a renewed phenomenology of loving and giving.

The winner of the Principality's Prize is invited to give a lecture during the year following the awarding of the Prize.  Jean-Luc Marion will give a lecture on Monday 21 January 2019 at 7 p.m. at the House of the Oceans (Maison des Océans), 195 Rue Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris.
