Erich Fromm Prize


The Erich Fromm Prize is a German prize bestowed upon people who have advanced Humanism through their scientific, social, sociopolitical or journalistic engagement. The prize is named after Erich Fromm, a Jewish German-American philosopher, psychoanalyst and psychologist. The price is conferred yearly since 1995, and since 2006, it is endowed with 10'000 €.
The Erich Fromm Society elects a five-person jury, which decides on the prize winner. Its decision is made by simple majority and is not influenced by the Society, but it has to respect applications and recommendations.
