Jorge Luis Borges, The Library Of Babel - Cults And Interpretations Of Books

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Library Of Babel" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the interpretation by denizens of the library explaining the books and the universe. A number of different sects and cults arise, some of which are successfully stamped out by the authorities, at least in some portions of the library To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Collected Fictions here - https://amzn.to/3xZnwHA
