Previously, he was on the faculty of the University of Sussex and the University of Wales.[1]

Critical reaction edit

Reviewing O'Neill's book The Market: Ethics, Knowledge and Politics, Mark Peacock wrote that "O'Neill defends an Aristotelian perfectionism which allows for a plurality of goods pursued for their own sake. [...] The argument is sound, but does not answer the liberal objection to Aristotle that individuals must be allowed to pursue what they believe to be the good."[4]
