New links in the Heap… “The ethics of war in the context of a culture war means that you accept that action you take in fighting such a war has harmful effects on your enemies, and that those harmful effects must be evaluated relative to their ultimate aims” — Barry Lam thinks “the culture wars could use some ethics of actual wars” When you “say” things in your mind, or engage in “inner speech”, what exactly is that? And what hinges on it? — these and related questions are taken up this week in a symposium put together by Daniel Gregory at the Brains Blog After 10 years conversing with philosophers over 160 episodes, the Panpsycast is coming to an end — listen to the final episode of the podcast and explore the back catalog “Why have contemporary evidentialists have been so timid?” — Daniel Greco on the ethics of belief and the kind of evidentialism worth defending “In my department, I felt like it was taken as an indicator that you weren’t serious about philosophy if you had interests other than just reading, writing, and talking philosophy. And internalizing that idea is… unhealthy” — Briana Toole is interviewed about her life, work, and path into philosophy “We don’t want to lose Socratic intellectualism.

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.
