“Economies of the Infinite” is a comparatist reading of Hegel and Borges’ ideas on the presentation of infinity, bringing to bear on these authors questions and methods from deconstruction and postcolonial theory. Following Borges’ belief that metaphysics is one more branch of fantasy fiction, this thesis attempts a “fantasizing” of Hegel’s philosophical rhetoric that dismantles the genre distinction between philosophy and literature.
