The latest Philosophers’ Carnival can be found here, at the Florida Student Philosophy blog. The Carnival is an online philosophy conference that convenes every three weeks or so, and is a set of links to interesting discussions around the web. I was surprised to see one of my own usuphilosophy.com postings featured!
