Lev Shestov, All Things Are Possible - Assessments Of Leo Tolstoy - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th and 20th century existentialist philosopher Lev Shestov's book "All Things Are Possible" It focuses specifically on his interpretation and assessment of the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, who Shestov says is much more interesting in his vices and inconsistencies than in his virtues. Tolstoy was someone who didn't simply write but attempted to live out his views on life, not always with great success, and struggled against ideas and worries most other people can put aside.
