Mini-Heap posts normally seem when 7 or so new objects accumulate within the Heap of Links, a group of things from across the net which may be of curiosity to philosophers. Dialogue welcome.
The Heap of Hyperlinks consists partly of options from readers; if you happen to discover one thing on-line that you just assume can be of curiosity to the philosophical neighborhood, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thanks!
