This is a re-post of what I had posted on Jason's Facebook thread. I think there is a deeper (and more pressing) problem for philosophers (and researchers in the humanities more generally). There is increasing pressure on humanities researchers to obtain and rely upon "soft money" (note: this problem may be somewhat less pressing at sufficiently well endowed and Humanities-generous private schools). It is partly for this reason that Templeton (and other funding agencies) have been able to increase their grip on researchers in the humanities (and, to some extent, on their research agendas). It would be nice if we could address this deeper problem. Otherwise, I fear that it will just be a matter of time until we all (except perhaps those of us fortunate enough to work at sufficiently wealthy and Humanities-generous institutions) face potential problems of the sort Jason has in mind.
