My latest death, dying, and the emotions: We worry about 'dying alone' -- but we should probably be worried about dying *lonely* instead. Dementia will often mean dying lonely, but surprisingly, we don't have reason to fear dying lonely while demented philpapers.org/rec/CHODAD-4

Very happy to have my "Fearing Our Deaths, Grieving Our Selves" appear in this just published anthology on moral psychology of fear! I argue that fear of death is harder to vindicate than anxiety, which in turn mirrors self-directed grief www.bloomsbury.com/us/moral-psy... philpapers.org/rec/CHOGOD

Very pleased to have had this podcast chat with Ricardo Lopes, aka The Dissenter, on all things philosophy of death and dying: nature of death, immortality, grief, suicide, the whole lot! youtu.be/w0YMZl4je-E?...

We feel the moral tug of grief -- but how can there be a duty to grieve the dead? Delighted to have this paper coming out with Jordan MacKenzie, arguing the duty is rooted in 'practical fidelity'. Look for it in Free and Equal in coming months! philpapers.org/rec/CHOGAA-3 @griefyork.bsky.social
