In \u003ci\u003eAthens and Jersusalem, \u003c\/i\u003e Lev Shestov-an inspiration for the French existentialists and the foremost interlocutor of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Martin Buber during the interwar years-makes the gripping confrontation between these symbolic poles of ancient wisdom his philosophical testament, an argumentative and stylistic tour de force.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the Russian-born Shestov is little known in the Anglophone world today, his writings influenced many twentieth-century European thinkers, such as Albert Camus, D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Czeslaw Milosz, and Joseph Brodsky. \u003ci\u003eAthens and Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e is Shestov's final, groundbreaking work on the philosophy of religion from an existential perspective. This new, annotated edition of Bernard Martin's classic translation adds references to the cited works as well as glosses of passages from the original Greek, Latin, German, and French. \u003ci\u003eAthens and Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e is Shestov at his most profound and most eloquent and is the clearest expression of his thought that shaped the evolution of continental philosophy and European literature in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLev Shestov\u003c\/b\u003e (1866-1938) elaborated a radical critique of rationalist knowledge and ethics from the point of view of individual human existence.
