Abstract

Introductory study and critical note on the sources and the composition of Shestov's influential study of Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, The Philosophy of Tragedy, which was originally written in the early 1900s and later translated into French and published in Paris in 1926. This publication forms part of the new annotated critical edition of Lev Shestov's works which was entrusted to the Lev Shestov Study Society in Glasgow by the French publishers, Le Bruit du Temps.
