$750,000 Given to Law School to Study Pursuit of Happiness

The John Templeton Foundation has awarded a grant of $750,000 to the Center for the Study of Law and Religion (CSLR) at Emory University for a project on “The Pursuit of Happiness: Life, Liberty, and Love in Interdisciplinary Perspective.” From the Emory Law press release:

"[T]he pursuit of happiness” theme is an ancient and enduring Western ideal grounded in various Hebrew, Graeco-Roman, Christian, and Enlightenment sources. The project will retrieve some of the rich traditional teachings captured in this ideal and reconstruct them for our day in light of the new findings of the social sciences and the new liberties of constitutional democracies.

Emory Law is imminently qualified to study the pursuit of happiness having now achieved happiness (read $$$).
