Prêmio Templeton
O Prêmio Templeton (em inglês: Templeton Prize) é uma condecoração anual da Fundação John Templeton.
Estabelecido em 1972, ele é entregue a uma pessoa viva que, na opinião dos juízes, "fez uma contribuição excepcional para a afirmação da dimensão espiritual da vida, seja através de um insight, de uma descoberta ou de trabalhos práticos".[1] O prêmio é nomeado devido a Sir John Templeton, um empresário radicado no Reino Unido e nascido nos Estados Unidos, que foi consagrado cavaleiro pela Rainha Elizabeth II em 1987 devido aos seus esforços filantrópicos.[2] Até 2001, o nome do prêmio era Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, e de 2002 a 2008 ele foi chamado de Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities.[3][4] O prêmio tem sido tipicamente apresentado pelo Príncipe Felipe numa cerimônia no Palácio de Buckingham.[5][6][7]
O valor monetário do prêmio é ajustado de maneira que exceda o montante dado pelo Prêmio Nobel, uma vez que Templeton sentia que a "espiritualidade era ignorada" nos prêmios Nobel.[8]
