Thinking with Borges

More about the book

Thinking With Borges engages the most pressing and persistent questions of the philosophical tradition—including those of time, eternity, politics, law, justice, language, reality, identity and memory—through original and often brilliant readings of the Borgesian archive. Going beyond Borges’s self-deprecating claim that he deployed the philosophical canon only for aesthetic purposes, the contributors to Thinking With Borges demonstrate that he seeks to answer the most enduring philosophical questions in ways that both contest and extend the philosophical tradition.
