博古睿奖：思想改变世界
更新时间：2016-10-08 11:57:25 | 来源： Berggruen Institute
思想对人类历史产生的影响无可比拟。我们现在生活的社会依然深受苏格拉底，孔子，耶稣，穆罕默德和卡尔·马克思等伟大思想家的影响。---尼古拉斯·博古睿
博古睿奖为年度奖项，由博古睿研究院颁出，旨在奖励对塑造人类自我认识和推动人类进步产生了广泛影响的思想家。该奖项寻求和鼓励古代“智慧之爱”所推崇的哲学和18世纪时代对人类知识全方位的探求。该奖项的得主需对不同文明的社会实践和大众生活都产生了深远的影响。
伟大的变革正在重塑人类生活的方方面面。新科技不仅已经胜任了人类的很多工作，而且正在能够改变人类身体。人类对自身的的定义遭到挑战。经济、社会和文化的变革与日俱增。现有的政治体系面临国内和国际的双重挑战。
在这一背景下，人们需要从新思想和传统思想中寻求智慧。但是，哪些新思想应该被接受，那些传统思想依旧重要呢？
要回答这些问题，哲学的作用至关重要。这里的“哲学”不仅仅局限于学术领域，而是指引导知识和道德进步的源泉。广义的哲学能够推动知识的进步并跟随其变化的步伐，能够吸收并塑造思想，能够运用辩证思考来不断验证这些思想。广义的哲学能够吸取不同的学术和文明中的精髓以不断进步，也能够广泛借鉴人文社科及自然科技的成果。
博古睿奖所奖励的为广义上的哲学，即能够帮助个体和整个人类在快速持续变革的世界中找到正确方向的思想。
大奖得主由独立的评选委员会选出。首届博古睿奖得主是加拿大麦吉尔大学荣誉教授查尔斯·泰勒（Charles Taylor）。

The Berggruen Prize
The Berggruen Prize is awarded annually to a thinker whose ideas are of broad significance in shaping human self-understanding and the advancement of humanity. It seeks to recognize and encourage philosophy in the ancient sense of the love of wisdom and in the 18th Century sense of intellectual inquiry into all the basic questions of human knowledge. It rewards thinkers whose ideas are intellectually profound but also able to inform practical and public life across the range of civilizations.
Great transformations are reshaping almost every aspect of human existence today. The very idea of the human is challenged by new technologies that not only take on tasks once thought intrinsically human but also are increasingly able to change human bodies. Economic, social, and cultural changes are also profound. Established political systems confront pressure at both national and international levels.
In this context, people seek wisdom in both new ideas and renewal of old traditions. But which new ideas should be welcome and what old traditions remain important?
To answer these questions, philosophy is vital not just as an academic discipline but as a source of intellectual and moral orientation in the world. Philosophy adequate to this task depends on advancing knowledge of the world as it is and as it changes, on ideas that both grasp and shape it, and on critical reason and debate that continually interrogate those ideas. Such philosophy is strengthened by a capacity to learn from the different forms of scholarship and intellectual perspective embedded in different civilizations. It also draws widely on humanities and social science and engages natural science and technology.
The Berggruen Prize is awarded for philosophy in this broad sense – deep intellectual work and cultural creativity that can help individual human beings and humanity as a whole find direction and wisdom in a rapidly changing and constantly challenging world.
An independent jury is appointed to select the recipient of the prize. The first winner is Professor Charles Taylor of McGill University.
