Axel Honneth (social and political philosophy, esp. critical theory), Professor of Philosophy at the University of Frankfurt, will take up a half-time post in a new Chair in the Humanities in the Philosophy Department at Columbia University, starting in fall 2011. It is expected that he will move full-time to Columbia a few years thereafter. (Honneth will come up against the mandatory retirement age in the German system circa 2014.)
