This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, book 5, chapter 5. It focuses specifically on Ivan's introduction of the Grand Inquisitor, in the "poem" of that title. Ivan introduces this figure in response to Alyosha's invocation of Christ.

    The Grand Inquisitor is a gem within a gem. The book is my favorite work of fiction (or prophecy if you will). I wish FD had lived long enough to give us the sequel.

    Ivan’s talk with Alyosha and this chapter got my mind bent

    Great video! I also love the sequence towards the end when the devil mocks Ivan for writing the Grand Inquisitor, a "poem by a promising writer"!

    The kiss man, the kiss. What did it represent? Ivan accuses Alyosha of thievery immediately afterward when he does it. Does it represent unconditional love? Or forgiveness? Both?!? What!? What does Dostoevsky mean by showing affection for the corrupted thing standing in front of you?

    Did the Grand Inquisitor fall victim to the third temptation himself?

    Sometimes I feel that the Grand Inquisitor gets too much attention compared to the whole novel. The final trial for the murder at the end of the second part of the book is much more valuable, if we're gonna pick a chapter from the novel..

    I still don’t understand what Ivan is trying to convey with this poem”

    Why does God perform miracles by healing the blind man and raising the girl from the dead, but rejects the temptations of proving he is God by miracles when Satan asks him?
