We sometimes change in different directions from those we love, but how can braving the unknown together endear us to our lovers?
How do we cope with love being an endeavour fraught with uncertainty?

Thank you so much!
I’m very excited to hear what you think!

I’ve had success teaching Frankfurt’s Reasons of Love (excerpts or the whole thing) and Lorde’s Uses of the Erotic, for two very different options!

My new book (Love in Time, just out from Chicago) has some parts that might make good short excerpts, too. Let me know if I can recommend anything!

If you’re headed to @aarweb.bsky.social later this month, I would love to see you Sunday at 3pm for a panel on the book! Amy Hollywood, Martin Kavka, and Lou Ruprecht will speak with Andrew Walker-Cornetta presiding and a response from me. I’m honored and grateful to each of the panelists!

American Spring? How nonviolent protest in the US is accelerating Contrary to conventional wisdom, anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed 2017 in size, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful.

THE meme of 2025 for me.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Yay!!!!! Congratulations!! They’re so lucky to have you!!

Thank you!! What virtues it may have are in no small part thanks to you!!

And I love the Jim Croce comparison! The more bitter version, maybe, is Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” :)

Thank you!!

I haven’t yet but I’ve been appreciating her work for years! I’ll reach out!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

The book argues for a view of love as an experience of uncertainty, and what that demands of us as lovers, thinkers, and speakers of our experience.

Also considered: vulnerability to our own desires, lovers as bad shoppers, and do we ever fully know our beloveds? (Not really, and why would we want to?)

If you’ve ever wondered what love feels like as a finite being, and why philosophers so rarely talk about it that way, this book is for you!
