Here’s another edition of Mini-Heap—10 recent items of possible interest to those interested in philosophy, from the frequently updated Heap of Links. Feel free to discuss. 

The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap.
