Alıntı yaparak yanıtlaRus filozof Lev Shestov'un dogum yildonumu (12 Subat 1866)
"Sokrates'ten bu yana hakikat, evrensel ve zorunlu yargilarla karistirildi. Herkes dusuncenin yalnizca butyn merak ve arayislara son verecek bir zorunlulukla karsi karsiya kalinca durma hakki olduguna ikna olmus duruma geldi. Ayni zamanda hic kimse dusuncenin seyler arasindaki zorunlu iliskilere nufuz ederken, felsefenin asli gorevini yerine getirdiginden suphe etmiyor. kisacasi, Hegel de ortada 'felsefeler' degil yalnizca 'felsefe' oldugunu gostermeye calisirken, butun felsefecilerin kaderin kendilerine yukledigi misyonu daima ayni sekilde anladiklarini gorebilmisti. Butun bu felsefeciler varligin kati ve degismez duzenini kesfetmeyi arzuluyordu cunku bu insanlarin hepsi, Sokrates gibi yalnizca hicbirsey bilmediklerini bildigi iddiasinda olanlar bile, bu herkesten bagimsiz olan duzenin ve bu duzeni insanlara vahyedecek bir bilimin var olmak zorunda oldugu, var olmamasinin olanaksizligi fikriyle hipnotize olmus durumdaydi."
"Since Socrates the truth, for men, has been confounded with universal and necessary judgements. Everyone is convinced that thought has the right to stop only when it has come up against Necessity, which puts an end to all searchings and all curiosity. And at the same time no one doubts that thought, in penetrating to the necessary relationships of things, accomplishes the supreme task of philosophy. So that Hegel, in short, saw quite rightly when he sought to demonstrate that there are not 'philosophies' but 'philosophy,' that all the philosophers have always understood in the same way the mission that fate had imposed upon them. All of them sought to discover the rigorous and unchangeable order of being, for all of them – even those who, like Socrates, knew that they knew nothing – were completely hypnotised by the idea that this order which depends on no one must exist, that it is impossible that it should not exist, just as there must exist a science which reveals this order to man.”
