Jorge Luis Borges, post-analytic philosophy, and representation

Published in 2015 by Routledge, a division of the Taylor & Francis Group, this academic volume explores the complex intersections between the literary works of Jorge Luis Borges and the currents of post-analytic philosophy. Silvia G. Dapía, a recognized scholar in the field of Borges studies, examines how the author’s narratives challenge traditional notions of language, truth, and the representation of reality. The work serves as a critical bridge between literature and semiotics, positioning Borges not merely as a writer of fiction, but as an active participant in the philosophical debates of the twentieth century.

The book is designed as a scholarly monograph intended for students and researchers of comparative literature and continental philosophy. Its reception has been characterized by its contribution to the deeper intellectual framing of Borges's recurring themes, such as the infinite, the labyrinth, and the nature of consciousness. By placing Borges alongside thinkers like Saul Kripke and Hilary Putnam, Dapía offers a formal analytical framework that moves beyond aesthetic appreciation to address the rigor of the author's epistemological inquiries.
