In this video, I continue discussion of "All Things are Possible," one of the early works by Lev Shestov, an important figure in the development of Existentialism. I discuss Shestov's critique of the philosophy and culture of his own time -- in particular metaphysics, positivism, and utilitarianism -- and his view of morality, science and logic as "those police agents", as ways in which we human beings allow necessity to be foisted off on us, infringing freedom, possibility, and experiment. I also discuss his insight that philosophical systems, while aiming at complete universality, cannot provide that, since they are ultimately rooted in the subjective, passional stances of the human beings who develop them
