This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Cult Of The Phoenix" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the story of a cult or sect called by names like "Cult of the Phoenix", "People of the Practice" or "People of the Secret". The group is compared against others like Jews and Roma, and includes people of all nations, social levels, and walks of life.
