Started reading "Lev Shestov - Philosopher of the Sleepless Night" by Matthew Beaumont and am very curious about it. I hadn't known Lev Shestov before reading "The Myth of Sisyphos" by Albert Camus, in which he is mentioned several times and which got me interested in him in the first place. What caught my attention most is Shestov's deep belief that reality cannot be pressed into a (philosophical or any other kind of) system and that humans are fundamentally irrational beings. Let's see what the book has in store about this largely unknown thinker... #reading #philosophy
