10. Modality / A. Necessity / 9. Normative Necessity

9240	Love creates a necessity concerning what to care about [Frankfurt]
	Full Idea: The necessity with which love binds the will puts an end to indecisiveness concerning what to care about.
	From: Harry G. Frankfurt (The Reasons of Love [2005], 2.13)
	A reaction: I put this here as a reminder that there may be more to necessity than the dry concept of metaphysicians and logicians. 'Why did you rescue that man first?' 'Because I love him'. Kit Fine recognises many sorts of necessity.
