Mini-Heap


New additions to the Heap of Links…

  1. New: The Free Will Show — a philosophy podcast, with interviews, that covers the basics as well as advanced new work on the topic, hosted by Taylor Cyr (Samford) Matt Flummer (Porterville)
  2. Teaching in a socially distanced classroom — professors at Siena College share what they learned from testing out three different scenarios
  3. Hegel turns 250 this summer — to mark the occasion, The Hegel Bulletin and Cambridge University Press have made some of their Hegel-related resources free to access
  4. “When the dead are only respectable and seemly, they truly do seem dead” — Amy Olberding (Oklahoma) on the differences between how we remember the great and how we remember our own
  5. “The winners in unjust systems always want the oppressed to assume their fate was inevitable” — David Lay Williams (DePaul) on Tom Cotton, John Stuart Mill, and “necessary evils”
  6. The Chronicle of Higher Ed’s new & improved database of Fall 2020 college reopening plans — (you may be asked to create a free Chronicle account)
  7. “New research shows that people’s capacity to experience pleasure or enjoyment contributes at least as much to a happy and satisfied life as successful self-control” — imagine that!

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. Discussion welcome.

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!
