New links in the Heap…

- The Happiness Museum — visit it next time you’re in Copenhagen
- “The argument formed part of a serious anti-sceptical strategy – a strategy that the bare argument, presented by itself, doesn’t really capture” — Jonathan Birch (LSE) on Moore’s hands
- “The normatively stubborn person enforces a rule no matter how obviously wrong and counterproductive doing so is in the present circumstances” — we should acknowledge the role of judgment in administering law, and the importance of good judgment, says Steven Nadler (Wisconsin)
- “Students generally feel their specific campuses are creating a positive environment for free speech” — yet “sixty percent of students have at one point felt they couldn’t express an opinion on campus because they feared how other students, professors or college administrators would respond”
- Disagreement, democracy, and civic friendship — Robert Talisse (Vanderbilt) is interviewed on the Parlia podcast
- Masks: for the greatest good — making the best of Bentham
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!
