Anyone here familiar with the work of Shestov?

I was just reading about him yesterday in relation to Cioran. More depressed boomer shit

Shame. I'd hoped he'd be more like Nietzsche or at least like Doestvsky whom he apparently admired (just like Cioran incidentally).

I wanted to read him. What the hell does he talk about?

>> No.13274866

I read a bunch of him a few years ago. Love him dearly. Start with his essays on Nietzsche, Doestvsky and Tolstoy.

he has a very aphoristic style like Nietzsche, but he's far more religious
his later works are better than his earlier works, in my opinion
