The Faculty is delighted to announce that former DPhil student Dr Lea Cantor has won the Oxford Nicholas Berggruen Prize for her dissertation “Ancient Philosophy within a Global Purview: Parmenides and Zhuangzi on Expressing what Can (and Cannot) be Known.”

The Prize is awarded to the best doctoral dissertation in philosophy, law or politics, with one candidate put forward by each faculty. The rigorous selection process is overseen by a committee who found Lea's work to be "an impressive and markedly original thesis", which will become a basis for a monograph.
