Abstract
This book examines the polemics and interactions between existential thought (as represented by Lev Shestov and Benjamin Fondane) and the mainstream Surrealist movement and its dissidents. Two different conceptions of the absurd emerge from this confrontation: the Surrealist 'free functioning of thought', and the existential critique of rational discourse elaborated by Lev Shestov (1866-1938) and Benjamin Fondane (1898-1944).
