Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ This is a video in my Speculative Fiction Studies series, which examines and analyses key aspects of classic and contemporary works in the genres that fall under the broad rubric of speculative fiction. This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres This video focuses on Jorge Luis Borges' short philosophical story, The Circular Ruins, and discusses the narrative and the key philosophical themes of this tale. It centers on a sorcerer who has the desire to dream another human being into reality, which he does at the abandoned temple of the fire-god. After a failure, he dreams meticulously all of the organs of the person's body, but is unable to give him consciousness, which the fire-god miraculously does for him.
