Description
The Baumgardt Memorial Fellowship, administered by the American Philosophical Association (APA), is a triennial award supporting and promoting research in the field of ethics—especially work related to the philosophical interests of David Baumgardt. The fellowship encourages scholarly exploration of moral systems rooted in strong cultural and religious traditions (e.g., Judaism, Christianity), and the examination of contrasting ethical principles such as love and justice versus power or forgiveness. Recipients are expected to produce a work that may be presented as a series of public lectures, known as the Baumgardt Memorial Lectures.
