Leibniz discusses this philosopher in his Discourse on the Natural Theology of the Chinese, noting the similarity of his ideas to the concept of Li. Karl Popper wrote a book about the "world" of this thinker, and Socrates contrasts him with men of flux in the dialogue Theaetetus. The last part of his main work deals with "opinions of mortals," but this section, the Way of "Seeming" or "Doxa," survives only in fragments. In the second section of his main work, this thinker presents himself riding on a chariot to a goddess who instructs him on the "way of truth." She tells him that the world is unchanging and monistic. For 10 points, identify this Eleatic philosopher who wrote the poem On Nature and who may have been the teacher of Zeno.
