The Dr. Martin R. Lebowitz and Eve Lewellis Lebowitz Prize for philosophical achievement and contribution is awarded by the Phi Beta Kappa Society in conjunction with the American Philosophical Association. Each year, the award is presented to a pair of philosophers who hold contrasting 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 a divisional meeting of the American Philosophical Association. To promote the discipline of philosophy to wider audiences, the Phi Beta Kappa Society invites the Lebowitz Prize winners to engage in a dialogue as guests on an episode of the Key Conversations Podcast. The dialogic character of the Lebowitz symposium and public presentation emphasizes the historic work of philosophy as a process of inquiry. Winners will present their views and engage in dialogue at an annual symposium held during an APA divisional meeting and in a podcast episode. The topic of the lectures shall ordinarily be an important philosophical issue of current interest, with the lectures offering contrasting views on that topic.
