Machine Learning-Based Integration of High-Resolution Wildfire Smoke Simulations and Observations for Regional Health Impact Assessment
Large wildfires are an increasing threat to the western U.S. In the 2017 fire season, extensive wildfires occurred across the Pacific Northwest (PNW). To evaluate public health impacts of wildfire smoke, we integrated numerical simulations and observations for regional fire events during August-September of 2017. A one-way coupled Weather Research and Forecasting and Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system was used to simulate fire smoke…

Emotions in Continental Philosophy
Although the topic of emotions was long ignored in British and American analytic philosophy and psychology, it remained a rich and exciting subject in Continental Philosophy. Kierkegaard and Nietzsche celebrated the passionate life. In phenomenology Martin Heidegger, Max Scheler, Emmanuel Levinas, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gabriel Marcel, and Paul Ricoeur all made major contributions. Heidegger pursued a highly original thesis conc…

Aristotle, Ethics and Business Organizations
I have developed a theoretical framework which I call 'an Aristotelian approach to business' to talk about corporations and organizations in general. Although Aristotle is famous largely as an enemy of business, he was the first economist and he might well be called the first business ethicist as well. We can no longer accept the amoral idea that 'business is business' (not really a tautology but an excuse for being socially irresponsible and per…

Living with Nietzsche
In Living With Nietzsche, Solomon suggests that we read Nietzsche from a very different point of view, as a provocative writer who means to transform the way we view our lives. This means taking Nietzsche personally. Rather than focus on the "true" Nietzsche or trying to determine "what Nietzsche really meant" by his seemingly random and often contradictory pronouncements about "the Big Questions" of philosophy, Solomon reminds us that Nietzsche …

On “Positive” and “Negative” Emotions
"Nietzsche on Fatalism and "Free Will
ietzsche is often classified and taught along with the “Existentialists,” mainly because he is (like Kierkegaard) so adamantly an “individual” and an early advocate of “self-making.” But Nietzsche also subscribes to a number of harsh doctrines that might be described as “fatalism” and a kind of “biological determinism,” to name but two. Fatalism, strictly understood, means that nothing could be other than it is, and Nietzsche’s sharp sarcastic co…

Nietzsche's Postmoralism
This important collection of essays, originally published in 2000, the year of the centenary of Nietzsche's death, offers a full assessment of his contribution to philosophy and represents a helpful guide to the current landscape of Nietzsche studies. In Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche calls on new philosophers to carry on the process of reinterpretation and revaluation that will constitute the philosophy of the future. This reconsideration will b…
What Nietzsche Really Said (What They Really Said Series)
What Nietzsche Really Said gives us a lucid overview - both informative and entertaining - of perhaps the most widely read and least understood philosopher in history." "In this analysis, Nietzsche scholars Robert C. Solomon and Kathleen M. Higgins get to the heart of Nietzsche's philosophy, from his ideas on "the will to power" to his attack on religion and morality and his infamous Ubermensch (superman)."--BOOK JACKET
What Emotions Really are
This study argues that much research of the emotions has been misguided. It attempts to show that emotion encompasses psychological states of very different, and thus not comparable, kinds. Some emotions, such as a brief flaring up of anger in response to some experience, are evolutionary ancient, reflex-like responses which appear insensitive to culture. Others, like moral guilt, differ importantly across cultures, despite their long history in …

In Defense of the Emotions (and Passions too)
Sabini and Silver argue (“On the Possible Non‐Existence of Emotions: The Passions” (JTSB, 1997) that there are (or might be) no emotions. They are not just arguing, what I take to be true, that (1) emotions do not constitute a proper class or that (2) an emotion is not a “thing” or entity. They are – or seem to be – advocating serious reductionism, perhaps even an “eliminitivism” in which all talk of emotions (in both common sense and in philosop…

Emotions and anthropology
Consider the platitude, 'all people are basically (i.e. emotionally) the same'. How would we know? Observing people in a culture very different from our own, it would seem that we have to presuppose some such universality, just in order to understand them, but then we beg the very thesis in question. This essay considers one case study of other people's emotions, a study of Eskimos in Jean L. Briggs's Never in Anger. The problems surrounding the …
Beyond Ontology
In this essay, I want to raise certain questions about the nature of emotions, about the similarities and differences in human psychology ("human nature"), and about the relation of psychological inquiry to ethics (in particular, the relationship between emotions and ethics). The core of my thesis, which I have argued now for almost twenty-five years, is that emotions are (in part) a form of cognition, a matter of "ideas", or in the current lingo…

A More Severe Morality
Beethoven and the Sonata Form
There are few subjects as bloodless as traditional musicology. But this need not be so. Adorno has just given us a truly human and critical analysis of contemporary music, Sullivan wrote a book on Beethoven's music without a single item of notation, and there are periodic signs that music is becoming recognized as something more than an autonomous luxury and distraction which stands outside the Zeitgeist with a history all its own. Most recently,…

Sex without Love
Here, in a break from traditional philosophical views of sex and love, Russell Vannoy presents a radical defence of sexual enjoyment without love. Vannoy argues that truly humanistic and fulfilling sex is found only when it is enjoyed for its own sake and it is divorced from traditional forms of love. The book contains insightful analyses of the philosophies of Sartre, Freud, Schopenhauer, Reich, Nagel, deSade, and others

I can't get it out of my Mind
In his Confessions, SaintAugustine tortured himself over the significance of his lusty thoughts and impulses, which so offended his religious sensibilities and his more spiritual conception of himself. Were those thoughts truly his? Were they in any sense his responsibility? Were they in his control, or were they not? This was Augustine's problem, and it still consists of a set of questions that can be applied to the whole world of mental phenome…
