With the sudden death of the father, and with the slow, painful deterioration of the mother into her dementia, followed...

Reinier Van Meerten Gravitation by very small 'C particles
of 0.433× 10-50 kg

Katrien Schaubroeck The normativity of what we care about
a love-based theory of practical reasons
A love-based reason theory as a new perspective in the debate on practical reasons. Reasons and obligations pervade our lives. The alarm clock gives us a reason to get up in the morning, the expectations of colleagues or clients give us a reason to do our jobs well, the misery in developing countries gives us a reason to donate money to Oxfam, a headache gives us a reason to take an aspirin. Looking for unity in variety, philosophers wonder why a consideration counts as a reason to do something....
