This study spans the entire life and work of the Russian philosopher Lev Shestov (1866-1938). It offers keys to understanding his thought, while also tracing the historical itinerary of his work. Shestov’s thought is not only interesting in itself, as a “philosophy fighting against philosophy,” but also because it reveals an entire world of cultural connections in its extraordinarily keen exploration of other “souls.” The reader will find in Shestov some of the sharpest analyses of authors such as Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Tolstoi, Dostoevskii, Luther, Plotinus, Pascal, Kierkegaard and many others. This study will better determine the controversial and fascinating philosopher’s place in the history of Russian and Western thought.
Andrea Oppo is Professor of Contemporary Philosophy at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology of Sardinia (Italy). He is the editor of Shapes of Apocalypse: Arts and Philosophy in Slavic Thought (Boston, 2013), and the author of Philosophical Aesthetics and Samuel Beckett (Oxford, 2008) and of numerous articles on the relationship between philosophy and the arts in the twentieth century.
