| description | The deep influence of philosophy in Jorge Luis Borges is widely known. The relationship between philosophy and literature is investigated in this paper as a way to present how Borges converts literature as an extension of philosophy.Through the concepts of humor and irony, works of this Argentinian writer are analyzed here to establish a vision of its metaphysics. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on how short stories of the Argentinian writer converge within the frameowrk of the relationship between philosophy and literature, seen from irony and humor. Borges must be understood from different approaches; oneof them is certainly philosophy. From there, a relationship is established between philosophy and literature which analyzes in depth metaphysics and irony in his short stories. As Borges’ writing is understood, in some way, by the prism of philosophy, this paper demonstrates an analytical approach to the irony and humor as part of the metaphysical point of view. |

La relación existente entre la filosofía y Borges es inevitable. No por el hecho de su contacto con la cultura europea, sino por su perspectiva sensible del mundo en la cual lo experimenta a través de lo literario. Bajo la idea anterior, este artículo pretende establecer dicha relación. La intención de esta reflexión es abordar algunos relatos del escritor argentino, dialogando constantemente entre lo filosófico y lo teórico en relación con la ironía y humor. Se debe comprender a Borges desde otras miradas, una de ellas es la filosófica. De ello, la relación que se establece con la escritura tiene una profunda visión entre la metafísica e ironía en los relatos analizados. Borges conlleva la literatura y la filosofía con un diálogo permanente. Sus escritos están comprendidos desde dicha perspectiva analítica del mundo en la cual la ironía y el humor fino se intercambian para justificar su literatura. A relação existente entre a filosofia e Borges é inevitável. Não pelo fato de seu contato com a cultura europeia, mas pela sua perspectiva sensível do mundo, experimentada por meio da literatura. Com base nessa ideia, este artigo se propõe a estabelecer tal relação. A intenção desta reflexão é abordar alguns textos prosaicos do escritor argentino, dialogando constantemente entre o filosófico e o teórico em relação à ironia e ao humor. Deve-se compreender Borges a partir de outros olhares, sendo um deles a filosofia, uma vez que, nos relatos analisados, o relacionamento estabelecido com a escrita articula uma profunda visão entre a metafisica e a ironia. Borges mistura a literatura e a filosofia num diálogo permanente. Seus escritos são compreendidos a partir uma perspectiva analítica do mundo na qual a ironia e o humor se enlaçam para justificar a sua literatura.
