German Prize for Philosophy and Social Ethics

The German Prize for Philosophy and Social Ethics has been awarded since 2014 and goes back to a foundation by the Hamburg businessman Max Uwe Redler (1937–2006).

The prize is endowed with 100,000 euros (as of 2019). This makes it the most highly endowed German philosophy award.

The German Prize for Philosophy and Social Ethics honors an “outstanding work” from the fields of philosophy (especially social philosophy ), legal philosophy , business ethics , sociology or theology . The laureate should not have "significantly exceeded" the age of 50.
