Mini-Heap
Lots of links, lately…
Mini-Heap posts appear when about 10 new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, the ever-growing collection of items 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.
