About the Author

Shestov is known for his critiques of rationalism and his focus on the irrational aspects of human existence. His works, such as "All Things Are Possible" and "Athens and Jerusalem," explore themes of faith, despair, and the limits of reason. He fled Russia after the 1917 Revolution, eventually settling in France, where he continued to write and influence existential thought.
