Recueil d'études consacrées à la pensée existentielle conçue par Léon Chestov (1866-1938), critique du rationalisme qui s'appuie sur une interprétation de l'expérience du tragique, et reprise par son disciple Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944), philosophe et écrivain. ©Electre 2025
An influential forerunner of French Existentialism, the Russian-born thinker Lev Shestov (1866-1938) elaborated a radical critique of rationalist knowledge and ethics from the point of view of individual human existence. Best known for his ground-breaking comparative studies of Tolstoy and Nietzsche, and of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, Shestov defined his conception as the «philosophy of tragedy». Shestov's philosophical hermeneutics of the literary work of art was later developed and disseminated through the writings of his disciple, the Romanian-born Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944), who was also a poet, filmmaker and playwright. The two authors provided one of the earliest and most consistent critical accounts of Husserlian phenomenology in France. «The philosophy of tragedy» and its associated notions of «revolt» and existential truth had a lasting impact on a number of prominent writers and philosophers including Georges Bataille, André Gide, André Malraux, Albert Camus and Emmanuel Lévinas.
