Why can the Nobel prize not be awarded posthumously?
That makes sense. But have there been any exceptions to this rule?
Yes, there have been a few exceptions. In 1931, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded posthumously to Erik Axel Karlfeldt, a Swedish poet and member of the Swedish Academy. Additionally, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded posthumously to Dag Hammarskjöld in 1961, though he had been nominated before his death.
