Folk in #philosophy a question for yinz. I always think of the canon as stuff there’s a normative expectation that someone finishing an undergrad degree (or at about that level) be familiar with. So it’s primarily a teaching category. Does this accord with your sense of the term?

Having picked up a sense of the canon post-UG, I don't really know what to say. And in my own teaching, I try to offer samplers, so some stuff that's canon and some that's not. So I don't really have a sens of the norm...
Well in your tweet just now, what do you think is being tracked by the distinction `some stuff that's canon and some that's not'?

Canon: Things to which a randomly selected philosopher at a PhD granting institution would say "yeah, that makes sense"; not canon: Things to which..."what the hell is that?!"

I dunno how seriously you mean that! I don't think a Phil Compass review article on implicature is canon in any typical sense of the term, yet would be by the definition you just gave.
