Here are 10 philosophy articles I liked in 2020, in no particular order (a THREAD with links).
1: Do animals have a concept of death? @Susana_MonsO sets out what it takes to have a "minimal comprehension" of death and explains how we can test for it.
2: @aliboyle6 on conjoined twins and biological individuality: https://t.co/c5y2cQm6IE. AB had another excellent paper, on episodic memory, but I will allow only 1 paper per author.
3: Tim Bayne, @anilkseth and Marcello Massimini on "Islands of awareness" - this paper is terrifying, horror movie-esque. You'll see what I mean if you read it. If you dare.
4: Can we perceive goal-directedness? Joulia Smortchkova argues that we can, and gives a plausible account of how it works.
