Before Final Words

The second work in the Lev Shestov library, Before Last Words, contains a philosophy that speaks beyond its time. Shestov, who masterfully addresses the dilemmas of modern man on the axis of reason, faith and freedom, does not only offer the reader a philosophical examination... This book tries to reach the dark corners of the human soul, following in the footsteps of many thinkers from Hegel to Descartes, from Tolstoy to Nietzsche. Shestov, who offers a striking critique on the myth of progress, man's search for freedom and the traps of modernity, does not shy away from discussing the limits of rationality. A depth explored with the pen on courage and the essence of human nature... With Tugay Kaban's translation!
