"To a scholar, normally resident outside the United States, in recognition of scholarship that has contributed significantly to the advancement of knowledge," said LSA in a statement issued to mark the award. In awarding the LSA International Prize the citation states, "We honour not only his brilliance, his humility, and what Roberto Unger called his saintly life. We also honour a man whose scholarship expressed his deepest commitments and values and guided his public as well as his private expressions."
