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."

P. F. Strawson

Peter Strawson died 13 February 2006.  An obituary can be found here:  http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,60-2040505,00.html

UPDATE (from Neal): Brian Weatherson is keeping track of obituaries for Strawson here.  There's no doubt about the importance Strawson's work has had for the literature on free will and moral responsibility.  Gratitude is surely an appropriate reactive attitude.
