What makes a story real? In his thought-provoking works, philosopher J.L. Borges explores the intersection of reality, perception, and meaning through intricate tales that blur the boundaries between the known and the unknown. Join us as we dive into Borges' stories “Death and the Compass,” “The Writing of the God,” and “The Book of Sand,” using these masterpieces to unravel metaphysical questions about existence, time, and identity.
Storytelling is a powerful tool for explaining complex topics, transforming abstract ideas into tangible experiences. By weaving philosophical concepts into engaging narratives, we make challenging ideas more relatable, memorable, and accessible.
🗓 Date: 15th Nov
⏰ Time: 16:00
📍 Location: Room 6.419
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore deep philosophical ideas through the lens of Borges' literature and discover how storytelling can make even the most complex topics come to life.
