- Double-weighted statement
- This 200-page, c.65,000-word monograph on the neglected Russian Jewish philosopher Lev Shestov, who influenced a generation of thinkers in Paris from the 1920s, restores a sense both of his philosophical significance and his continued intellectual relevance by reconstructing aspects of his 'religious existentialism'. Written over two years, and deploying the methods of art history and literary history as well as philosophy and theology, it forms part of an ongoing research project on the aesthetics and politics of insomnia. It fulfils double-weighting REF criteria numbers 1, 2, 3 and 7.
