I know you ran a piece on the Templeton Foundation, but as I know that a lot of philosophers in the current crunch for external funding consider applying or have applied, it may be a good idea to see what people think of accepting funding from them. I know that some very good and respected philosophers want to hear nothing of them and some other very good and respected philosophers took their money, so it should be a lively exchange that could help some of us about whether we should consider them as an acceptable funding source...
My view is unchanged from before: while the Templeton Foundation undoubtedly devotes resources to muddying certain intellectual waters, it has, to my knowledge, funded substantial philosophical research projects, without unsavory strings attached. But I invite signed comments from readers with views about this.
