Mini-Heap
This installment of Mini-Heap includes links that are not yet in the actual Heap.
(This paradox is brought to you by this week’s site maintenance.)

- The John Stuart Mill Cup is a tournament in which teams of high school students in the UK match wits with each other discussing ethical issues of public concern — organizer Ben Sachs (St. Andrews) is looking to expand its reach; contact him for details
- Do you find yourself “wobbling and toggling between perspectives, being unable to relax into a single framework to make sense of things”? — that might be “zozobra,” as Francisco Gallegos (Wake Forest) & Carlos Alberto Sánchez (San José State) explain
Mini-Heap posts usually 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!
