Nominator's project description

Professor Price is an internationally leading philosopher of highly unusual breadth even well beyond philosophy, his research on philosophy and physics of time remains extremely influential. He is particularly known for his defence of pragmatism and global expressivism as well as his work on causation and the arrow of time. In Germany, he will seek to advance collaborations specifically on pragmatism, science and risk, and the foundations of physics.
