Thank you so much for this. It made my day. Got something so vital and crucial to understand and in such fluent and lucid manner. Thanks again.

Большая благодарность, за эту замечательную лекцию!!!😊

You are tall enough, and not close to ugly. Thank you for this meaningful insight.

Brilliant review especially your remarks on idiot . Your idea about Catholicism, just brilliant it reminds me of my dystopian theocratic country . I keep listening to your review over and over and discover more gems

In my humble opinion, your analogy of the mother/father principle bears witness to 'your' own genius at transferring such complex personalities and their issues into succinct and understandable terms. From an angle of cosmic influence, this video should be mandatory watching for the angry, gifted or ambitious. Exceptional work Thank you for educating me with your gift

Your voice is amazing for this kind of thing. It's truly a pleasure to listen to you.

Keep 'em comin!

I appreciate the way you put both side by side it helped me alot more than before, perhaps... Im more dostoesky than nietche... Surely as time goes ive been going more and more dostoesky i know being younger ubermench from nietche brought of thought of greatness... I must be getti g old. Thanks again

Your choice of the word "loneliness" in the title is an apt theme, for what in the end is the path we all must take once we've determined upon our endless search for knowledge. We have to do this journey alone however, somewhere between the existence of the Buddhist monk as you referred to, or as the Wanderer. Nevertheless, we cannot ever feel lonely as long as the classics and other literature of profound influence remain on our library shelves. They now represent our eternal companions from here on in.

Great content, cheers

I love your channel so much

Very well done. Thank you.

In Steiner's book (Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky) he said that Dostoyevsky was theatrical and in the line of the Gothic novel. He also said that Dostoyevsky had a real insight into man and a more prophetic view of history. My favourite is Demons and Demons was the first video I watched on your channel.

Wonderful video thank you

Awesome video mate, favourite author of all time, and you have my favourite You Tube channel too. Also, I think its very important to note that Dostoevsky was not against people who follow the Catholic religion, he still held nothing against the average Catholic, but he was strongly opposed to the high church side of Rome. To quote Alyosha from The Brothers Karamazov, after he heard The Grand Inquisitor from Ivan, "It’s Rome, and not even the whole of Rome, that isn’t true-they’re the worst of Catholicism, the Inquisitors, the Jesuits..." He appeared perfectly aware that there are good and bad catholics, just as there are good and bad atheists and orthodox Christians, but the High church side of Catholicism he was strongly opposed to. Once again, amazing video mate, im very happy i found your channel about a year ago 😎 👌

Thank you, you always "Fiction Beast," a brilliant analysis of Doedysifsky's novels, one of my favorite novelist. Along with Nietzsche works and insights of other philosophers and science with relevance of expertise of how religious divisions or none with those of power with variations of psychological measurement of the insights of humanity with wars, all its delinquency and the power of love . Many paradoxies with what creative arts expose. Creative arts are the glue that holds our world together. Music always a transformation with the great painters whose lives were often a width of endeavors both and light and dark. After all we are all only are only human with flaws as one hopefully grows along a path of discovery or remain stagnet and frozen in the hands of time of between birth and death. However, life is complicated with paradoxes. Yours channel on KZread always enlighten our world with reading great novelists and minds who remain fortunately forever not from our senses of hearing, sight, tastes, even those who may never hear or see. Blindness of mankind's soul. Bravo 👏 👏 ❤

The brothers Karamazov is an awesome masterpiece and crime and punishment is a must read as well. Good to hear your daughter has a love of reading too. The Iliad the odessy and La Morte de Arthur are also true treasures.

It's impressive to see how Dostoevsky's insights continue to resonate even today.

i closed down a successful restaurant business of ten years to attend furniture making school in the mountains. best decision ever. i met like minded people who come from all walks of life. i met my girlfriend while at school and we are currently designing the home we want to build and live in. i found my tribe, and all it took was for me to leave the ‘world’ behind. invest only in yourself and the community around you. everything outside of that is pretty much meaningless

Thank you 🙏

I came here for the great mind which I admire ( Dostoyevsky ) having read almost all of his books and short stories. Yet! Wars aside, it amazes me, even though some finest minds came from Russia, the state has always wanted to suppress, annihilate, isolate, send to Siberia, uproot these its own great minds?! There are many more questions, but this one , I believe, is important to consider . It's impossible to ignore cultural background when diving into the soul of the author. Dear author of the essay, if you could come up with some explanation, I'd appreciate ! Thank you

I have always been a Russian culture supporter. Mainly its music and literature. Nowadays, in the middle of such a nihillistic & narcisistic western society reading Dostoiévski is a must for his tremendous insight through individual earnings, searchs and contradictions. Just like now everywhere, even in battlefielded Russia. Congratulations to Fiction Beast. Love it.

I cannot thank you enough, Fiction Beast. Your videos are the missing link between yesterday's solutions, tomorrow's troubles, and the subjective ideas humans use to forward their objective agendas. I have read most of the novels you have covered to date and your synopsis is such a pleasant reminder that I am currently thinking of things previously thought by the great writers of history. Without these videos I would be sorely alone with my ideas. PSA: Dostoevsky is Putin's favorite novelist and all his base ideas (about Russian nationalism and the emergence of his country's moral and spiritual split with the west) are more important than ever in modern times. If you have not studied any Dostoevsky or Tolstoy, I suggest you do so immediately to grasp the rapid changes in global events. Thank you.

I’m glad you’re able to enjoy intellectual experiences such as these! The process of thinking and discovery itself is the best part.

Very fascinating. The only psychologist that Nietzsche had anything to learn from was Dostoevsky. Even if science ‘proved’ God didn't exist, God would still believe in me. I know my redeemer lives. So perhaps we need to step back and look at the big picture of Nietzsche. There may be hope yet. I was reading of Twilight of the Idols on Thursday, January 19th, 2023. And as I read through I got a strange deja vu of that scene of Galactus from Fantastic Four #262 back around 1984. Back then, it blew my mind when each alien race saw Galactus as a reflection of their own alien race. I am not sure if Nietzsche's work was an inspiration. But if it was intended, I understood it now around 40 years later at the age of 53.

Very good but you said that Tolstoy said that they will see each other some day, after he already died and Tolstoy new that he died. So when he said that, it meant In the afterlife, so you can’t say that they never saw each other, who knows but that’s not the point I’m trying to make, thank you sir, you’re very good I’m not trying to be rude, I figured I would point that out to you though’ 🤔🙏

This is really nice. I read most books when I was very young and didn't have the Education to put it into a bigger context. I just enjoyed to dive into another time and place and the flow of the story. Not that I was completely ignorant but it's nice to get those books, some of which I read several times, explained at last and have them viewed in a broader context.

The Grand Inquisitor is Catholic! His most famous prose, Fiction Beast, try not to be so hip, dropping names like Bukowski, whom I knew, he was friends with my uncle Stanley Rose of Bookstore fame, try reading Celine or Blaise Cendrars for some real literature!

I love so much of this video but my personal understanding of Dostoyevsky towards the west was way more complex than the way you describe it… he had great admiration for Europe and spent so much time there the hypothesis of total rejection is very unlikely… I believe his positions are more about protecting identity from risks and dangers in general rather than specifically being against western values purely

NO,all is more complex 2:38:31

Even looking at his face gives me chills - knowing his biography. Respect to DOSTOEVSKY frever for beautiful literature and feeling for the folk on them streets. He was always REAL.

I wonder how he would cope with findings that suggest loneliness is genetic. It seems that people who report being lonely share certain genetic traits. Weird eh? It could be that loneliness has nothing to do with how society is organized, or that modern society produces alienation and loneliness. The science seems to suggest that the feeling of loneliness is genetic. That means it was adaptive somehow and not a fault, or a result of a decaying society. For millions of years lonely humans passed on their genes because it was adaptive in some way we just can't grasp yet. People felt like crap when the church controlled everthing, and every moment was infused with god and meaning. Maybe he was wrong, hmmm? Maybe he didn't have all the information yet.

Mic makes it sounds like AI lol
