  4. The snuggle for survival — what we can learn about evolution by shifting our focus from competition to cooperation and the “relaxation of selective forces”
  5. Hume, Einstein, time, and “natural philosophy” — Matias Slavov (UCLA) on the “grey area in which physics and philosophy overlap”
  6. The importance of time to various issues in political theory — a conversation with Elizabeth Cohen (Syracuse)

Mini-Heap posts appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, the ever-growing collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers.

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. Thanks!
