All Things are Possible

Meer over het boek

Exploring the theme of human freedom, Shestov argues against the constraints of necessity and fate, drawing inspiration from Jesus' words about possibility. He posits that true humanity lies in the struggle against life's limitations and suffering. The essence of human achievement emerges from rejecting the notion that we can fully understand our nature or the human condition. Knowledge, in his view, is akin to an algorithm that limits the richness of human experience, emphasizing the importance of embracing uncertainty and the potential for growth.
