Note publique d'information : "Making an important contribution to studies in Literature and Philosophy, this book
reads Jorge Luis Borges philosophically, particularly in reference to his use of representation
and reality. Rather than attempting to subordinate Borges to a set of philosophical
constructs, to reduce Borges' texts to mere exemplifications or illustrations of philosophical
theories, the book uses Borges's short stories to demonstrate how philosophical questions
related to representation develop out of literature and actually serve as precursors
to the various strains of post-analytic philosophy that later developed in the United
States. The volume discusses American post-analytic philosophers Richard Rorty, Hilary
Putnam, Donald Davidson, Nelson Goodman, and Arthur Danto, as well as a wide-ranging
set of philosophical ideas including reflections on Keynes, Hayek, Schopenhauer and
many others . Chapters offer detailed readings of Borges' texts extending from 1939
to 1983, locating where he thematizes issues of representation, and pursuing the logic
of Borges's text toward its philosophical implications without neglecting their literary
value" éditeur
