Search the Garden

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

Garden Party

To celebrate the one year birthday of the Garden of Forking Paths (which was May 31st), UCR is appropriately hosting a Garden Party.  All are hereby invited to come join us on June 9th from 4-8pm at the UCR Botanical Gardens.  There will be food, drinks, and good conversation.  If you would like to come, please RSVP to Janet Mauren at Janet.Mauren@ucr.edu as soon as possible.

Thanks again for the great year!

Is there any significance to the fact that the paths through the UCR Botanical Gardens fork? Were the gardens designed by incompatibilists? How could the philosophy department let this happen? Or do there only appear to be forks (and upon entrance to the gardens, a device is implanted in our brains, such that if we are about to take one of the forks...)?
