Can psychopaths' low levels of empathy explain why they exhibit little grief at the deaths of others? Yes, I argue -- but to see why, we need to expand our conception of empathy to incorporate empathy for our past and future selves iai.tv/articles/psy...
Psychopaths show us that grief relies on self-love
<p><em>We know psychopaths don’t feel empathy for others, but it turns out they also can’t feel empathy for themselves. Philosopher <strong>Michael Cholbi</strong> argues that psychopaths’ inability t...

My latest (to be presented at next month's joint session in Reading also!): Grief is often transformative -- we can't predict its feel or trajectory in advance. How come, and why this is a good thing academic.oup.com/aristotelian...

No, it's because only 3.1 percent of the Dutch population live in poverty as opposed to 20 percent of the British population. The Guardian really needs to stop publishing irresponsible lifestyle crap as news. (The Avondvierdaagse is a nice tradition though.) www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Dutch children are unusually happy and healthy. Is it because of the Avondvierdaagse?
Once a year, Dutch kids, parents and teachers take part in a walking festival, heading out for four nights in a single week to explore their neighbourhoods, exercise and make friends. It’s a tradition...

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
