Mini-Heap
A new batch of links of possible interest to those interested in philosophy: it’s the Mini-Heap.
- Book XI is a new journal of literary philosophy — it’s “dedicated to publishing personal essays, memoir, fiction, science fiction, humor, and poetry with philosophical themes” and its first issue just came out
- Should you apply to graduate school in philosophy, and if so, where? “Warning: This might be depressing!” — advice from Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside)
- “Academic freedom does not exempt philosophers and other academics from the duty to treat their colleagues and students with dignity and respect” — Chris Bertram (Bristol) on a recent letter some philosophers and others sent to The Times complaining about trans-inclusive policies at UK universities
- Why is a crater on the moon named after Anaxagoras? — the story involves his arrest, trial, and being sentenced to death
- Wabash College adds “Philosophy, Politics, and Economics” to its list of majors — and an endowed professorship to lead the program
- Understanding and assessing China’s “social credit” system — an online symposium
- “They were some of the most intelligent, kind and real people I have interacted with” — students at the University of Texas San Antonio took part in a “Philosophy and Literature Circle” with inmates at a local prison this past semester
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!
