 Renowned 20th-century philosopher Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 Jürgen Habermas, the German philosopher widely recognized for his contributions to modern political thought and democratic theory, died Saturday in Starnberg, Germany, at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed in a statement by his Berlin-based publisher, Suhrkamp Verlag, which noted that Habermas’s work, translated into more than 40 languages, had left a lasting impact on global intellectual discourse. Jonathan Landgrebe, head of the publishing house, described him as “a significant philosopher, ever-present advisor, and dear friend.” For more than six decades, Habermas helped shape postwar and post-reunification German political life. He is best known for conceptualizing the “public sphere,” a domain for discussion free from state influence, which he argued is essential for a functioning democracy. Rising to prominence with the Frankfurt School in the mid-20th century, Habermas offered rigorous critiques of capitalis...

Time reveals 2025 Person of the Year

Time Magazine has named the architects of artificial intelligence as its Person of the Year for 2025.

This year’s recognition follows President Donald Trump, who earned the title in 2024 after securing his second term in the White House. Trump previously received the honor in 2016, the year he was first elected.

Ahead of the announcement, prediction markets had spotlighted AI and tech leaders Jensen Huang of Nvidia and Sam Altman of OpenAI as frontrunners. Other potential contenders included Pope Leo XIV, Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The Time Person of the Year tradition began in 1927, with editors selecting the person or entity they judged to have most influenced headlines over the previous 12 months.

While the public can participate in an online poll, the final decision rests with Time’s editorial team, and the selection remains closely guarded until the official announcement.

Although typically awarded to an individual, the title has occasionally recognized objects or archetypes. For instance, the personal computer was named the “Time Machine of the Year” in 1982, and the protestor received the honor in 2011.

The TIME Person of the Year acknowledges the individual, group, or concept that had the greatest impact over the past year, reflecting influence rather than a strictly positive accolade.
