Mini-Heap

- Philosophy for Music for Airports — John Lysaker (Emory) uses Eno as an entry point to the philosophy of listening
- “If the hoax shows anything, it’s that uncritical reverence for ideas clad in scientific clothing… is at least as much a problem as progressive political bias” — scientism and the recent hoaxing of academic journals
- Interested in philosophy at the intersection of ethics and aesthetics? — perhaps you should join the new Aesthetics & Ethics Research Group

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!
