Unconditional Love
The Foundation's support for research on the nature and efficacy of unconditional love is guided by John Templeton's profound belief that love is a reality that has the capacity to increase individual well-being and reduce human misery. The Foundation has catalyzed research studies within the fields of biology, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, medicine, economics, political science, theology and philosophy.
