Abstract
Description
El presente texto es una revisión crítica de parte de la obra del escritor argentino Jorges Luis Borges con el fin de evidenciar el talante filosófico de este autor. Para ello se presta especial atención al uso de la noción de infinito y las paradojas que de él resultan. Nuestra conclusión es que si se va a considerar a Borges como filósofo, se debe concluir que, ante todo, es un “filósofo de las paradojas”. Sobre esta base se puede entender su idealismo escéptico.
The present text is a critical review of part of the work of the argentine writer Jorges Luis Borges in order to evidence the philosophical acttitude of this author. For this, special attention is given to the use of the notion of infinity and the paradoxes that result from him. Our conclusion is that if Borges is considered as a philosopher, one must conclude that he is, above all, a "philosopher of paradoxes." On this basis their skeptical idealism can be understood.
