Cohen’s defense of a version of conservatism “If you give people a choice between Instagram and Socrates, they will chose Socrates. At least some people do” — music historian and culture critic Ted Gioia is launching a 12-month humanities course, starting with Plato (via Dave Estlund) 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.
