Nick on love in Daily Nous

September 08, 2026 Philosophy

A young man with clear-framed glasses and a moustache.

He likes getting caught in de re.

To cap off the steamy summer, read Nick Laskowski's recent guest post for the Daily Nous, where he teases lessons about love from "Escape (the Piña Colada Song)." Reflecting on the famous list of qualities the protagonist seeks in a paramour – piña coldas, walking in the rain – Nick objects that we should love individuals not sets of qualities! Twin Oscar should not be indifferent between the love of his mother and Oscar's. Love should always been quantified into. In Nick's own words: "Yes I Like Piña Coladas: On Haecceities and the Normativity of Love."
