The Neural Buddhists, a recent New York Times op-ed column by David Brooks, covers an amazing array of Templeton Foundation Press core themes and values. In fact, he may just set a record for “Most TFP Subject Areas Covered in a Single Article.” In the column, Brooks offers a very interesting prediction of where the science & religion dialogue is headed in the coming years, and by our count, he touches on at least five of our major subject areas:

1.) Science & Religion

See The Big Questions in Science and Religion, Creative Tension, Science and Religion, and dozens of other titles

 

 

 

2.) The Influences of Buddhism on Science

See Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics 

 

 

 

 

3.) Mankind’s natural inclination towards belief

See Something There

 

 

 

 

4.) Overflowing Love

See Pure Unlimited Love, Science of Love, Unlimited Love, etc. 

 

 

 

 

5.) Selfishness vs. Altruism

See Research on Altruism and Love, The Altruism Reader, The Altruistic Species, etc.
