Kentucky Prize Essay Contest
Schatzki, Theodore
University of Kentucky
Eighth Annual Prize Essay Competition in
European Philosophy from Kant to the Present
QUESTION: Has Western philosophy been built on the exclusion of certain groups of people?
This topic may be addressed historically, systematically, or through any combination of these two approaches. The winning essay will receive a prize of $1000 and, upon recommendation of the selection committee, be published in Inquiry. The author of the winning essay will also be brought to the University of Kentucky in the Fall of 2011 to present it.
The winner of the first four, sixth, and seventh annual Prize Essay Competitions were Sami Pihlstr�m (University of Helsinki), Robert Guay (Binghamton University), Helder De Schutter (University of Leuven), Herbert de Vriese (University of Antwerp), Michael Hicks (Johns Hopkins University), and Kristof Vanhoutte (Pontifical University Antonianum) for their essays "Recent Reinterpretations of 'The Transcendental' Revisited" (Inquiry 47, no. 3 [2004]), "The 'I's Have It: Nietzsche on Subjectivity" (Inquiry 49, no. 3 [2006]), "Nations without Nationalism" (Inquiry 50, no. 4 [2007]), "The Myth of the Metaphysical Circle" (Inquiry 51, no.3 [2008]), "Naturalism in Action," (Inquiry 52, no. 6 [2009]), and "Philosophy as the In-Between" (forthcoming). The prize essay selection committee declared no winner in the fifth competition.
