Finished reading "Lev Shestov - Philosopher of the Sleepless Night" by Matthew Beaumont yesterday. I wanted to read more about Shestov ever since I first read about him in "The Myth of Sisyphos" by Albert Camus. Unfortunately, he is mostly forgotten these days, and it is hard to get hold of copies of his original works. With his rather short, but very dense book, Beaumont offers a lot of information about this elusive and highly unique thinker, focusing on one of his central themes or motives, sleeplesness and watchfulness in the face of the horrors of our world. There is much to say about this book, and I plan to elaborate on it in a longer review. #philosophy #existentialism #thinker #book
