My research was supported by fellowships from the University Center of Human Values in Princeton University and from the Hope and Optimism Initiative in Cornell University and Notre Dame University, which was funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, and by research leaves from the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Office of Research Development, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, and the Parr Center for Ethics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provided financial contributions toward publication.
