Dr. Alfred Mele of the Florida State University Department of Philosophy is directing The Philosophy and Science of Self-Control project, a new grant project funded by the John Templeton Foundation. Philosophers and scientists are invited to compete for sub-grants and prizes to support research along two dimensions: the philosophy of self-control and the integrated science and philosophy of self-control. The first phase in the process of selecting the winners of these awards is to review letters of intent from applicants. Letters of intent for projects focusing on integrated science and the philosophy of self-control are due by August 1st, 2014, and letters of intent for the philosophy of self-control research projects are due by September 1st, 2014. For more information about The Philosophy and Science of Self-Control project and for instructions to submit letters of intent, please visit www.philosophyandscienceofself-control.com.
