The 27th Philosophers' Carnival is at Heaven Tree.
Update: I'm now getting back to looking through the Carnival, and I found that Mathetes has an excellent summary of Parmenides' argument that there is just one, unchanging thing. I wanted to preserve a link to it so I can go back to it later if I teach Parmenides again. It's a clear presentation of the argument, and it seeks to motivate Parmenides' strange claims rather than just shoot them down as stupid. The one thing I wish it had was an evaluation of the claims, but I'd rather see someone trying to motivate them and not criticizing them than someone trying to shoot them down without indicating why someone might have found them plausible to begin with.
