Jorge Luis Borges, The Library Of Babel - Library, Universe, And Language
Sadler's Lectures - A podcast by Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler
Categories:
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 structure of the library in which human beings live their entire lives. The library is composed primarily of hexagonal cells, each of which contains bookshelves filled with volumes containing what seem be be random combinations of characters.
