Mini-Heap
A new Mini-Heap…
- Independent scholar finds new John Locke manuscript — the article contains a link to a digital reproduction of the hand-written “Reasons for tolerateing Papists equally with others”
- “From the standpoint of a political analysis of sexual politics, basing morality in nature is contrary to everything feminism has achieved” — an interview with Catharine MacKinnon (Michigan)
- The 295 most-cited authors in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy — from Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside) with help from his son
- “Make friends with people you disagree with” — and plenty of other good advice for new college students from Harry Brighouse (Wisconsin)
- “No son of mine is going to be a Benthamite utiltarian. This is a John Stuart Mill family, dammit!” — “And as long as you live under my roof, you’re gonna be following my extremely niche (and extremely specific) perspective on philosophy”
- “I much prefer this work to adding to the now painfully overspecialized journal literature in philosophy” — Tom Sorrell (Warwick) on his work as an “embedded ethicist”, in an interview that also covers his writings on Descartes and Hobbes
- “College is probably the last time in your life you’ll be around people (your professors) whose job is to make you a more interesting person. Take advantage of that.” — my contribution to a long thread of advice to students starting college
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!
