Mini-Heap

New links… Discussion welcome. “I didn’t have so-called talent in high school or college–I didn’t sing, couldn’t dance… But I had these tools that were given to me in my logic and philosophy classes” — Steve Martin, talking with Alan Alda (philosophy comes up around the 8:40 mark) (via Paul Kelleher) “A war crime does not cease to be a crime just because it is committed by the military forces of a democratic state, or in a defensive war” — Jessica Wolfendale (Case Western) on the “false equivalency” defense of immoral actions in war “How has German philosophy received and influenced philosophical ideas from across the globe over the last several centuries?” — a ten-part podcast series with Peter Adamson and ten other scholars “How can we have two graphs using the same data, but that appear to show entirely different things? Are these just different ‘perspectives’ on the data? Is one of them right?” — Corey Dethier (Minnesota) on how “a little bit of philosophy can go a long way in helping us understand graphs” If Taylor Swift is a philosopher, then so is anyone who reflects on their experiences a few times — Ponens or tollens? Catherine Robb (Tilburg) shares her view “Political neutrality is a democratic ideal. As such, it is not a promise of absolute military subordination to the executive” — Graham Parsons (West Point) on the military’s obligations to the president “What ‘breaks’ when someone breaks into song” (on a TV show, but also in real life)? — a musicologist with a background in philosophy who is personally “familiar with the hesitations over musicals” has a whole podcast series on this question 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. 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. Thank you. Previous Edition
