Mini-Heap


New links of interest to those interested in philosophy…

  1. The ethical costs of upward mobility — Jennifer Morton (CUNY) is featured on the NPR podcast Hidden Brain
  2. The virtue of reverence, the wisdom of theater, the qualities of leadership, and more — in an interview with Paul Woodruff (Texas)
  3. Philosophy of Bitcoin — Andrew M. Bailey (Yale-NUS), Andrew M. Bailey (Wyoming), and Craig Warmke (NIU) find that cryptocurrency is a philosophically rich topic
  4. Using games, teams, Discord, and additive grading to create an online philosophy course that fosters community and excitement — Margaret Greta Turnbull (Gonzaga) shares her “gameful” pedagogy
  5. “Despite rumors to the contrary, arguments still work. We shouldn’t give up on them.” — N. Ángel Pinillos (ASU) with arguments and evidence for using arguments and evidence
  6. Before the election, a few philosophers were asked to imagine what they’d wake up to the day after it — pre-election imaginings from Michele Moody-Adams, Shannon Spaulding, Neil Van Leeuwen, and Catherine Wearing
  7. Controversy over a new statue in London intended to honor philosopher and women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft — “I can’t see her feeling happy to be represented by this naked, perfectly formed wet dream of a woman”

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!

P.S. The Heap of Links page and the sidebar widget that lists new additions to the Heap are both still not working properly; the site is undergoing maintenance & repair in a part-time, piecemeal fashion, and they will eventually be fixed.
