All Things are Possible
Translation of Apofeoz bespochvennosti
Marc D’Hooghe
"All Things are Possible" by Lev Shestov is a philosophical work written in the early 20th century. The text presents Shestov's viewpoint on the nature of existence, exploring the limitations of human understanding and the conflict between established ideas and individual freedom. Through a dense and reflective prose style, Shestov embarks on a critique of European rationalism and its impact on Russian thought, suggesting a more subjective exploration of existence. The opening of the book establishes a rich philosophical landscape that examines the human experience of life and the quest for meaning. Shestov uses vivid metaphors to illustrate the obscure and chaotic nature of existence, where individuals must navigate through uncertainty and pain to find clarity. He critiques the reliance on logical reasoning and established truths, arguing that such constructs may hinder true understanding of the self. At the same time, he emphasizes a fundamental freedom in the human psyche, suggesting that true liberation arises from embracing uncertainty rather than conforming to societal ideals.
