Dr. Hugo Moreno publishes book “Rethinking Philosophy”

In Rethinking Philosophy with Borges, Zambrano, Paz, and Plato, Hugo Moreno argues that in Ficciones, Claros del Bosque, and El mono gramatico, Jorge Luis Borges, Maria Zambrano and Octavio Paz practice a literary way of philosophizing - a way of seeking and communicating knowledge of reality that uses analogical procedures. They deploy analogy as an indispensable and irreplaceable heuristic tool and literary device to convey their insights and perplexities on the nature of existence. Moreno suggests that in the Republic, Plato reconciles philosophy and poetry and creates a rational prose poetry that fuses argumentation and narration, dialectical and analogical reasoning, and abstract concepts and poetic images.

Hugo Moreno is a visiting assistant professor of Hispanic Studies at Lewis and Clark College.

Dr. Hugo Moreno received a silver medal in the 2021 International Latino Book Awards for his novel Where the North Ends.
