THE METAPHYSICAL DIMENSION OF CONTEMPORARY LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE WORKS OF J.L. BORGES AND J. CORTAZAR)

Modern literature largely overlaps with the philosophical genre, and in some cases, philosophy itself is qualified as a special genre of literature. Contemporary Latin American prose by J. Cortazar and J. L. Borges demonstrates its metaphysical dimension associated with an attempt to rethink and develop a number of philosophical ideas and plots at the level of an imaginary experiment with abstract entities. Analysis of a number of works by these authors shows the complex and multi-vector nature of their ontological and existential searches, making it possible to see in them modeling of potential philosophical and cosmological models of the future, which expands the boundaries of both philosophical and literary analysis.
