Creative Career

The article tells of one of the best researches of the creative career and the intellectual evolution of the most important Russian existentialist philosopher Leo Shestov. This book written by Italian scholar Andrea Oppo was published in 2020 in US. It depicts all the details of the growing up of Shestov as a thinker, examines closely all his works, including short pieces, analyses practically all the aspects of his biography. It stresses the thesis that the book «Lev Shestov: The Philosophy and Works of a Tragic Thinker» can be called as probably the best of all that have been published in English about this thinker in the terms of objectivity and all-compassing of all contexts of his world-view. But at the same time the review states that the author uses his own conception of the evolution of his hero that seems to be not so evident. The author proves that later Shestov came apart from Nietzscheanism and adopted the standpoint of existentially reconsidered Neo-Platonism, that the struggle against one-sided Western rationalism displaced for him the conflict with moral, Plotinus displaced Kant. The review proves that this point of view keeps out of consideration a whole range of very important aspects in the works of later Shestov particularly of his interest to the ideas of Danish thinker Soren Kierkegaard.

Metaphysical Truth

“What Shestov was fundamentally concerned with throughout his lifetime was to criticize the timidity and lack of imagination of traditional philosophy, with its view that metaphysical truth flows solely from obedience and passive submission to the structures of being given in experience, and to insist instead that ultimate reality transcends the categories of rationalist metaphysics and scientific method and that the truth about it is to be discovered through the untram-meled soaring of the spirit and through daring flights of the imagination. It may be said that so to insist is to abandon philosophy for poetry and art, but Shestov himself always maintained that philosophy is indeed, or rather should be, more art than science.”

Lev Shestov

En el presente artículo se intenta dar una visión panorámica de las cosmologías, antropogonías y utopías dentro de las tradiciones bíblica y clásica grecolatina, anotando sus diferencias bajo el punto de vista de la hermenéutica cultural, haciendo referencia al teorema Atenas y Jerusalén de Lev Shestov,  la  crítica de la filosofía de la historia de Karl Lowith, el análisis de los mitos del comienzo y del fin propuesto por P. Ricoeur y la historia de la filosofía de S. Pániker. Finalmente, abriremos una reflexión sobre la utopía de consumo de la sociedad capitalista mediante la crítica de la misma por parte de Erich Fromm.
