{"product_id":"athens-and-jerusalem-lev-shestov-9780821422199","title":"Athens and Jerusalem","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than two thousand years, philosophers and theologians have wrestled with the irreconcilable opposition between Greek rationality (Athens) and biblical revelation (Jerusalem). 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lev Shestov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821422197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821422199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Lev Shestov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926524002559,"sku":"9780821422199","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c9070244-a2dd-4355-95a4-ec19c6c073e3.jpg?v=1681083541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/athens-and-jerusalem-lev-shestov-9780821422199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
