	Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities
		Taylor, an author of more than a dozen books and scores of published essays and who has lectured extensively, is currently professor of law and philosophy at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and professor emeritus in the philosophy department at McGill University in Montréal, the city of his birth.
		The Prize is a cornerstone of the Foundation’s international efforts to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life's biggest questions, ranging from explorations into the laws of nature and the universe to questions on love, gratitude, forgiveness, and creativity.
		Taylor, who lives with his wife, Aube Billard, an art historian, in Montréal, and, currently in Evanston, Illinois, has said he will use the Templeton Prize money to advance his studies of the relationship of language and linguistic meaning to art and theology and to developing new concepts of relating human sciences with biological sciences.

	Darwiniana » Charles Taylor and Templeton prize
		Charles Taylor is the author of Hegel, a classic study of the Hegelian system, whose core thematic includes a pointed historical discussion of the era of post-Kantians as this then led into the era of positivism and the reign of Darwinism.
		Charles Taylor is engaged in contemporary, important, cross-cultural questions such as “What role does spiritual thinking have in the 21st Century?” For more than 45 years, Taylor, 75, has argued that wholly depending on secularized viewpoints only leads to fragmented, faulty results.
		Key to Taylor’s investigations of the secular and the spiritual is a determination to show that one without the other only leads to peril, a point he outlined in his news conference remarks.

	Moral, not Moralistic, Conservatism :: tyeebooks.ca
		Charles was the son of E. Taylor, perhaps the most famous, feared, despised, envied and editorially cartooned Canadian businessman of the 1950s.
		So it was that when Charles died of cancer in 1997, his obituary in the New York Times was headed "Charles Taylor / Journalist and Horseman, 62." At least the journalist got top billing.
		Charles was rather like Dalton Camp (who was rather like Benjamin Disraeli): a Conservative simply because he hated the Liberals for their power.

	Ramblings: Charles Taylor wins a Prestigious International Prize
		Despite a long career in the academy he has always argued from a perspective that includes spirituality and God with the ubiquity of folks like Richard Dawkins, Taylor is an anomaly but an important one and one of the most brilliant.
		``Throughout his career, Charles Taylor has staked an often lonely position that insists on the inclusion of spiritual dimensions in discussions of public policy, history, linguistics, literature and every other facet of humanities and the social sciences,'' said John M. Templeton Jr., the foundation's president, in a statement.
		I am unfamiliar with Taylor and I cannot say that winning a Templeton prize places him high on my to read list but it is nice to see Canadian academics get recognize even I object to their hypotheses.

	Philosopher Wins Templeton Prize for Spiritual Matters - New York Times
		The recipient, Charles Taylor, 75, is a professor of law and philosophy at Northwestern University in Illinois and professor emeritus at McGill University in Montreal.
		Professor Taylor, a Roman Catholic who said in an interview he was heavily influenced by pre-Vatican II documents he read while an adolescent in Quebec, is currently studying how spirituality influences those who commit random violence and whether traditionally spiritual motivations such as a sense of purpose could be a factor.
		The prize was established in 1973 by the investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton and exceeds the monetary value of the Nobel Prize because of Sir Templeton’s belief that advances in the spiritual realm can reap greater benefits than those in the secular.
