INTRODUCTION
This site is somehow an attempt to enact a sort of systematic "wishful thinking". As you may know, we are all inclined to wishful thinking, because it'so good to see our desires and sometimes our most intimate and dreamful wishes becoming reality. It's so good that, most of the time unknowingly, we tend to expect that things like that will happen to us. But most of the time, they don't. The "garden of ideas" concept is intended as a tool for wishfull thinking in Popper's World 3, the world of ideas. It is intended for the main purpose of nurturing ideas but can go as far as producing hardback binded publications of ideas, i.e., books. A book is not a mere collection of ideas. It's a fullfetched act. Hence, it could be meaningful to think of a "garden of actions" (but I see no clear meaning in the putative notion of "garden of emotions" :-) but we won't try. Conceiving a garden of ideas already appears as a very complex and large goal so, for the moment, we won't indulge in speculation on how to extend it.
OBJECTIVES
BLOG(collective importation of contextualized ideas & knowledge)
WIKI(collective organization (assimilation) of collected ideas & knowledge)
ENCYCLOPEDIA(my own personal representations based on the present state of the garden's ideas)
ARCHIVES(the very place where important documents which are not currently available on the web are made accessible)
IMITATION (A journal where self-edited and collectively evaluated articles on imitation can be published)
SYNTHETIC PSYCHOLOGY (A journal where self-edited and collectively evaluated articles on synthetic psychology can be published)
LABS(All reserved rights copyrighted productions units, i.e., restricted access groups dedicated to paper publication)
Je vois les projets à visée de production copyrightée (livre ou article scientifique destiné à publication) comme devant s'opérer dans un groupe de travail fermé, par exemple dans un google groupe où on peut avoir des fils de discussions multiples et quelque chose qui m'a semblé être un wiki où l'on peut créer des pages (mais je ne suis plus sûr). Les projets se trouveraient rangés dans le \"carré\" idoine du jardin d'idées et auraient une \"vitrine\" définissant le projet et les questions/conjectures pour lesquelles des investigations/contributions sont souhaitées. See what I mean ? Le visiteur intéressé proposerait ses services et intégrerait le groupe de travail selon une modalité qui reste à penser (le plus simple possible bien sûr). Ceci se trouverait donc à la frange du jardin d'idées. Dans sa zone d'expansion \"horizontale\".
