Features: This book includes four works: "Speculation and Revelation," "Nikolai Berdyaev—Gnosis and Existential Philosophy," "Beginning and End," and "The Philosophy of Tragedy—Dostoevsky and Nietzsche." It comparatively focuses on reflecting the main characteristics of Shchestov's academic work. He dissolves the speculative nature of traditional philosophy through the form of literary criticism, reveals the profound life significance of literature through his persistent pursuit of truth, and thus issues a poignant lament to the confused, aimless, and hedonistic modern people.
