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, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbus Tertius. This one focuses in particular upon the features of the philosophical idealism that characterizes the cultures and civilization of Tlön's countries, and the difficulty of framing a heretical or paradoxical materialism. The solution to the paradox of the coins is developed by an orthodox philosopher, who proposes a idealistic pantheism or monism. This video also discusses the production of objects, hrönir as they are called, out of expectation, hope, or desire.
