Description

This rare book contains a collection of essays by the influential Russian philosopher Lev Isaakovich Shestov. One of the most delicate and individual of modern Russian critics, Shestov was a radical empiricist and proto-existentialist thinker who integrated literary theory and philosophical thought in a masterful way that inspired such minds as Camus, Dostoyevsky, Deleuze, D.H. Lawrence, and Bataille. Included in this collection are the essays: Anton Tchehov, The Gift of Prophecy, Penultimate Words, and The Theory of Knowledge. Written aphoristically, the works contained herein are interesting and insightful, and constitute a must-read for all students of philosophy unfamiliar with the fascinating ideas of Shestov. Lev Isaakovich Shestov was a Russian existentialist philosopher. This rare book was originally published in 1916 and is proudly republished here with a new introductory biography of the author.
