MOVING TO FRONT, ORIGINALLY POSTED MARCH 25–UPDATED

I was very sorry to learn of the untimely passing of Professor Smuts, who wrote widely in value theory (including both aesthetics and ethics), and was, at the time of his death, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department at Rhode Island College.  You can learn more about his work here.  I will add links to memorial notices as they appear.

(Thanks to Noel Carroll for the information.)

UPDATE:  An obituary here.

ANOTHER:  A memorial notice in the newsletter of the American Society of Aesthetics is here.
