I am very sad to report that Professor Goldie, a leading writer on the philosophy of the emotions and moral psychology, has passed away.  There is a brief memorial notice from his former colleagues at King's College, London here.   I first met Peter when he came to seminars I was giving on Nietzsche at University College London about a decade ago, where he was an invaluable participant.  I subsequently saw him at Manchester, where he took up the Chair in Philosophy in 2005, in order to rebuild the faculty.  His book on The Emotions is one of the two or three best in a vast literature.  His remarkable philosophical career is all the more notable in that it was his second career, after one in business.  A great loss for the field of philosophy.
