All Things Are Possible is a philosophical work written by Lev Shestov and first published in 1920. The book explores the human condition and the limitations of reason and rationality in understanding the world and our place in it. Shestov argues that the pursuit of knowledge and understanding through reason alone is ultimately futile, as it cannot provide us with answers to the fundamental questions of existence.Instead, Shestov advocates for a more subjective and intuitive approach to life, one that embraces uncertainty, doubt, and even despair. He argues that it is only by embracing the irrational and the unknown that we can truly experience the full range of human emotions and find meaning in our lives.Drawing on a range of philosophical and literary sources, including Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky, All Things Are Possible is a challenging and thought-provoking work that continues to inspire readers today. Shestov's ideas have been influential in the development of existentialist philosophy, and this book remains a key text in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
