Abstract

Some notes which are displayed here will probably allow us to begin to understand the remarkable connections between Chinese thought and the work of Borges. Some side considerations on links to other aspects of Middle Eastern cultures are also provided here. In general, this article tries to show that fundamental concepts of Chinese thought come into powerful harmony with the literature, and even with what can be considered a philosophy, of Borges.
