Description

In this episode, we dive into The Brothers Karamazov through the lens of Nietzsche’s philosophy, exploring the novel’s intense moral struggles, existential dilemmas, and its haunting resonance today. Dostoevsky’s Russia was a society on the edge—torn between faith and reason, tradition and modernity, order and chaos. Through the Karamazov brothers, he stages a battle of ideas that anticipates many of Nietzsche’s core concerns: the death of God, the crisis of values, and the terrifying freedom that comes with rejecting moral absolutes.
