The City of Dreadful Night[edit]

What is the rationale behind the thomson quote? It is not clear whether shestov read thomson, or whether somebody writing this entry found their outlooks comparable. If the latter, it seems inappropriate to quote such a large amount of thomson... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.236.112 (talk) 01:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; I have removed the James Thomson quote, as well as references to The Lev Shestov Society homepage (http://shestov.by.ru/index.html), which is no longer online. Languagehat (talk) 19:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Existentialist[edit]

Shestov and Fondane both despised the existentialists and Fondane distinguished both his own philosophy and his teacher's from existentialism in his criticisms of Sartre. The scholarship portraying him as an 'existentialist' is quite dated (refer to Fondane's Existential Monday & the Sunday of History). Would anyone object if I removed that adjective?

nebuch[edit]

> 'Reason' is the obedience to and the acceptance of Certainties that tell us that certain things are eternal and unchangeable and other things are impossible and can never be attained. This accounts for Shestov's philosophy being a form of irrationalism, though it is important to note that the thinker does not oppose reason, or science in general, but only rationalism and scientism: the tendency to consider reason as a sort of omniscient, omnipotent God that is good for its own sake. It may also be considered a form of personalism: people cannot be reduced to ideas, social structures, or mystical oneness. Shestov rejects any mention of "omnitudes", "collective", "all-unity."

no source and the statement is completly unrelated to shestovs thoughts,its dishonest to call him not opposed to reason and would require revisionist reading of the worst kind. 5.46.204.235 (talk) 06:05, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
