Who Was Paul Ramsey?

Paul Ramsey (1913–1988) is regarded by many as one of the most important ethicists of the twentieth century. He served as Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion, Princeton University and was a distinguished and prolific writer on bioethics during the advent of the field in the early 1960s. Ramsey’s commitment to the sanctity and dignity of human life has shone with clarity and brightness as a beacon in the general darkness of academic bioethics for the past fifty years.

What is the Paul Ramsey Award?

The Paul Ramsey Award is presented by the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network to those who have demonstrated exemplary achievement in the field of bioethics by equipping our society to face the challenges of the twenty-first century, defending the dignity of humankind, and embracing ethical biotechnology for the human good. Past recipients include Edmund D. Pellegrino, Gilbert Meilaender, Leon R. Kass, and Mary Ann Glendon.

The 2013 Paul Ramsey Award Recipient: David Solomon

The Center for Bioethics and Culture and the Paul Ramsey Nominating Committee are pleased to announce Professor David Solomon, Ph.D. as the recipient of the 2013 Paul Ramsey Award for Excellence in Bioethics. Dr. Solomon is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, and was founding director of the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture, serving in that capacity from 1998-2012.

Paul Ramsey Nominating Committee member Dr. Gilbert Meilaender said of Dr. Solomon:

Excellence in bioethics may be displayed in a variety of ways—through one’s writing, through one’s teaching, through development of institutions that bring ideas to a wider audience, through a firm public stand in support of the equal dignity of every human being. In each of these ways, as it happens, David Solomon has—always with good humor—made distinguished contributions to clarity and honesty in bioethics. He is surely a very deserving recipient of the 2013 Ramsey Award.
