Features: Shchestov argues that Western culture often deifies order, fate, and predetermined morality as an unbreakable wall. He analyzes those who dare to smash their heads against the wall and those who use their bodies to defend it, pointing out that philosophy is not introspection, not a form of deep sleep until one becomes unresponsive, but rather a struggle between oneself and the self-evident. There are certain things in human life that are higher than reason, and life itself comes from a source higher than reason.
