Lev Shestov

Russian existentialist philosopher (1866–1938)

Lev Isaakovich Shestov (Russian: Лев Исаакович Шестов; 5 February [O.S. 24 January] 1866 – 19 November 1938), born Yeguda Lev Shvartsman (Russian: Иегуда Лейб Шварцман), was a Russian existentialist and religious philosopher. He is best known for his critiques of both philosophical rationalism and positivism. His work advocated a movement beyond reason and metaphysics, arguing that these are incapable of conclusively establishing truth about ultimate problems, including the nature of God or existence.
