The collection includes selected works of the famous French philosopher E. M. Choran (1911-1995). Emile Michel Choran (1911-1995) is one of the most mysterious figures in European philosophy of the 20th century. A native Romanian, a Frenchman by birth, a thinker by occupation and a radical pessimist by conviction, he still provokes fierce debate around his personality. In this book, the work of Emil Choran for the first time with sufficient completeness is presented in Russian.
