Political Thought Honor, Hannah Arendt Prize 2025, Bestowed Upon Seyla Benhabib
The Hannah Arendt Association for Political Thought e.V. has announced that political philosopher Seyla Benhabib will be the recipient of the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought 2025.
Born in Istanbul in 1950, Benhabib hails from a Sephardic-Turkish family. She has had an illustrious academic career, teaching at prestigious institutions such as Harvard University, the New School for Social Research, and Yale University. Her work focuses on democracy, migration, human rights, feminism, political belonging, and international conflicts.
Benhabib's theoretical analyses have been instrumental in addressing some of the central political challenges of our time. Her work combines critical theory, feminist theory, and cosmopolitanism with the thought of Hannah Arendt, forging a distinct and influential approach in contemporary political theory.
The award, endowed with €10,000, is presented by the Hannah Arendt Association for Political Thought e.V. and is funded by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and the Heinrich Böll Foundations at both the federal level and in Bremen.
The international jury for the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought 2025 includes Filipp Dzyadko, Alexander Estis, Waltraud Meints-Stender (who is also the chair of the association and can be contacted at [email protected]), Ronya Othmann, Cristina Sánchez, Facundo Vega, and Klaus Wolschner. The jury has honoured Benhabib as an outstanding political and philosophical intellectual.
Prof. Dr. Seyla Benhabib will accept the award on December 9, 2025, at Bremen City Hall. Since her retirement, she has conducted research at Columbia Law School in New York. Her work is published in Germany by Suhrkamp.
