Resumen:
My purpose in this paper is to sketch a view of metaphor inspired by the ideas discussed in Borges' texts, and more specifically from an idealistic and nominalist philosophical view that could be developed from some of his remarks about language. I will first make some brief remarks about how metaphor is understood in the most recent philosophical literature. Secondly, I will briefly reconstruct Borges? ideas about metaphors and finally I will try to extend these ideas in order to explore to what extent they can help me to develop a plausible theory of metaphor.
