- Title
ESE QUIMÉRICO MUSEO DE FORMAS INCONSTANTES. (NOTAS SOBRE EL RELATO «FUNES EL MEMORIOSO», DE J.L. BORGES).

- Abstract
This article analyzes the meaning and philosophical scope of «Funes el memorioso», a short story by J.L. Borges. «Funes el memorioso» participates in the productive symbiosis between literature and philosophy, a characteristic which is evident in most of Borges’ work and which has taken Borge’s creations to the summit of Western culture. Furthermore, by reading «Funes el memorioso» we can draw connections between the work of J.L. Borges and some of the most important authors in the History of Philosophy. We try to show that the epistemologies of Plato and Hume, authors that Borges knew perfectly, influenced the creation of this short story in a decisive manner.
