Fondane's existentialist philosophy was influenced by whom?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Friedrich Nietzsche
Martin Heidegger
Lev Shestov
Answer
The Russian existentialist Lev Shestov profoundly influenced Benjamin Fondane's philosophical development. Shestov's emphasis on the individual's experience of existence and the rejection of traditional philosophical systems resonated with Fondane's own philosophical inquiries. Fondane's existentialism thus bears the mark of Shestov's influence, contributing to the richness and complexity of his philosophical thought.
