Borges summary of the idealist defender Borges explicitly explained Berkeley and Hume as real "defender of index and idealism" in Nuevarefutacióndeltiempo. According to Borges, this doctrine is actually "old" and "popular" as a metaphysical one. But his argument stands for a unique philosophical achievement. Borges himself insists on these claims and exceeds them. He pushed the doctrine of Berkeley into Hume, which in turn flowed into a unified idealistic sea conceived by Schopenhauer and Oriental philosophy.
Borges believes in understanding ideas and things through imagination. He is a metaphysical relativist, meaning "reality exists in the eyes of a bystander". Borges studied the story of Trond and compared idealism and materialism. Because they do not believe things, Tlonians do not use nouns in their language. First and foremost, the object must be an idea. If Tlonian wants to check my profile, they will tell me that the chair is an idea in my head and is not genuine. "Their language and derivation of their language is based on idealism."
In this rich story, several important topics have been developed. One is an idealistic theme, which reveals the disciples of Borges as a philosophical system built by Berkeley and Hume - argues that thinking is the only true measure of reality. In the world of "Tlon" which is an ideal perfect configuration, things do not exist outside the concept of existence. Another theme of the interaction between reason and absurd appeared in several stories that humans try to understand the reality around him by imagining the world based on perfection of his own perfect form I will. Like the "Babel Library", this universe is always like a contradiction and a maze of reality: its secret and hidden secret, its guardian is ignorant, its limit is infinite. Therefore, seek perfect understanding and perfection to make people enter the ridiculous world
