Keywords:
Jorge Luis Borges, Literature, Metaphysics, Memory, Translation.Abstract
This study approaches the metaphysics’ problematic in the work of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges based on the analysis of literary images minted in his short stories and essays, especially those included between 1932 and 1952 (dates of releases of books Discussion and Otras Inquisiciones), time that most closely adhered to the theme, seeking to understand not only the dialogue established with the philosophical tradition, but also the internal logic of efficiency that guides. Are fundamental here, the concepts of memory and translation developed by the author, since break with established traditions and introduce an unsuspected motion in legacy of metaphysical arguments.Downloads
