- Lots of logic videos — over 180 of them, by Professor Sara Uckelman (Durham)
- “The change is meant to reflect all four cardinal virtues of government identified by the Greek philosopher Plato in his most famous work, the Republic” — the Georgia House of Representatives adds “courage” to the state’s pledge of allegiance, which already mentions wisdom, justice, and moderation (via Tim O’Keefe)
- “There are many opportunities to include Africana philosophy in your teaching curriculum; indeed it should be possible for just about any topic you might name” — Liam Kofi Bright (LSE) & Peter Adamson (LMU) have some advice on how to do it
- Margaret Cavendish wrote “a proto-SF novel that explores early modern science, feminist and queer thought, and political philosophy” in 1666 — and Helen De Cruz (SLU) has posted a summary and illustrations of it
- “Who knew that philosophy… could still be this controversial?” — Mark Oppenheimer & Jason Werbeloff, hosts of the Brain in the Vat podcast, defend the pursuit of “unaskable questions” in the wake of the controversy over Stephen Kershnar’s appearance on their program
- There was a mistake in that “That’s Not Kant” post — thanks to Daniele Procida it has now been fixed, and an additional portrait of Kant that’s kind of badass has been added
- Philosophers discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine at Oxford — with Jeff McMahan, Janina Dill, Helen Frowe, Massimo Renzo, Zofia Stemplwoska, and Elad Uzan
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!
