CAMPOS BENITEZ, Juan Manuel. Literatura, teología y mundos posibles: una manera de leer a Jorge Luis Borges. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2012, n.42, pp.207-222. ISSN 0188-6649.

The notion of 'possible worlds' can contribute to a better understanding of literature, particularly fiction. Possible worlds can be traced back to theology, especially in the works of St. Augustine and his notion of merely possible individuals, such as fictional beings. The latter also share theological roots in St. Thomas Aquinas' thought. These notions are present in the narrative of Jorge Luis Borges, as this paper intends to show.

Palabras llave : Literature; Theology; Possible Worlds; Borges.
