Mini-Heap


New additions to the Heap of Links…

  1. Figuring out how to “use AI to improve human moral judgments in bioethics” — a model from Walter Sinnott-Armstrong (Duke) and Joshua August Skorburg (Guelph)
  2. The Tractatus as song — sung by M.A. Numminem (via Timothy Williamson)
  3. Use of psychedelic drugs causes “significant shifts away from ‘physicalist’ or ‘materialist’ views, and towards panpsychism and fatalism” — and the effects last for at least months, according to a recent study
  4. “Do your own research” has become the slogan of those “skeptical” of expertise — Nathan Ballantyne (Fordham) and David Dunning (Michigan) consider how to respond to them
  5. Loneliness and the need to be needed — philosophers on how to better understand, measure, and address loneliness
  6. A philosophy course taught by your favorite memes of 2021 — by Ali Fitzgerald in The New Yorker
  7. The first step in creating a Bernard Williams Society — is a website dedicated to the work and life of Williams, created by Paul Russell (Lund)

Mini-Heap posts usually appear when 7 or so new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a 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!
