Ruth Bader Ginsburg Wins Million-Dollar Berggruen Prize for Culture and Philosophy

Billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen said she was chosen from a group of 500 who had been nominated for the prize, narrowed down to a list of five finalists. In an interview, Berggruen, who was not involved in the selection, said Ginsburg was not the “traditional philosopher” the institute has chosen in the past. – Washington Post
