Online Essays

Since WordPress is such an immense pain to use and revise or reorder, my main page for publishing my online essays is now Academia.edu:  see https://swarthmore.academia.edu/PeterSchmidt

Some essays are still posted here.  See my WordPress blog’s drop-down menu, including Selected Essays and (for more academic essays) this blog’s Publications menu.

For older essays designed in the time of a much older Web, see links below.
