Descrizione

Plotinus was a crucial author for the Russian philosopher Lev Shestov (1866-1938). He represented to him in many ways a real «philosophical alter ego» of Dostoevsky, since both – in Shestov’s view – indicated a way of internal rebellion of thought against the excessive power of the Western logos. The Plotinian ecstasy is, for Shestov, the highest moment in the historical development of Greek thought and at the same time it is its breaking point. A breaking point that in the subsequent centuries only Luther, Pascal, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard would have been able to understand in its decisive consequences. This article – the first entirely devoted to this problem – analyzes the relationship of Lev Shestov with Plotinus’ thought by examining all of Shestov’s writings, including his unpublished manuscripts.
