Abstract
Abstract:This essay analyzes the philosophical import of Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Garden of Forking Paths." Borges's story contains rich insights into the nature of possible worlds, contradiction, and infinity. In contrast to Leibniz, who claims that non-contradiction separates infinite possible worlds, Borges's vision of modal reality does not adhere to non-contradiction.
