Jorge Luis Borges: The Library of Babel

Jorge Luis Borges: The Library of Babel
We're taking a breather in between longer reads, with this short piece by Argentinian poet, essayist & short story writer Jorge Luis Borges. It's a fable about meaning and chance, and about our attempts to make sense of our lives in an implacable universe.

Who are we?
We're a reading group that welcomes all - young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, from keen students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture room. We read both long & short texts, but you don't need to join at the very start of our longer reads - you can come along at any stage of the journey. Our conversations are lively, wide-ranging & respectful.

We usually head to the pub to continue the discussion after our meetings.
