British philosopher Onora O'Neill has won the $1 million Berggruen Prize for philosophy and culture. The prize was announced Tuesday by the Los Angeles-based Berggruen Institute, which calls O'Neill "one of the world's most eminent moral philosophers." It cites her work on issues such as trust in institutions, bioethics, human rights and international justice. O'Neill is a member of the United Kingdom's House of Lords and chaired the UK's Equality and Human Rights Commission. The Berggruen Prize is awarded to those who "have profoundly shaped human self-understanding and advancement in a rapidly changing world."
