Translation. Apocatastasis Panton: the case of eternal return

Abstract

This paper is an spanish translation of draft essay by Leibniz whose title is Apocatastasis panton (1715). A short commentary accompanies this translation to prove that this essay is very important for the philosophical world. The nature of this commentary is philological, because it´s an explanation about one philosophical concept: apocatastasis or the eternal return from a historical and ecdotic point of view. It proposes the presence of a conceptual allegory in the translated essay, It also presents a historical and critical review of the Jorge Luis Borges’s literature where the image of the universal library or the cosmic library is an allegory of the eternal return in his fictions.
