Johan Jakob Borelius

Johan Jakob (or Jacob) Borelius (27 July[citation needed] 1823 – 1909) was an influential professor of theoretical philosophy at the University of Lund, Sweden[1] from 1866 to 1898.

He obtained his doctorate from Uppsala University in 1848, afterward becoming a teacher in Kalmar, while he continued his studies under Christopher Jacob Boström.

[citation needed] His overall philosophy is laid out in his work Metafysik (metaphysics), not published in full until after his death.

[1] Borelius is mentioned in a footnote of Jorge Luis Borges' short story "Three Versions of Judas."
