(Conducted in English.) Reading and discussing Dostoevsky's literary works, we will try to answer the social, psychological, philosophical, and religious questions that tortured him. We will examine Dostoevsky's reaction to social problems he saw in 19th-century Russia: family breakdown, alienation and powerlessness in the workplace, the daily humiliations of living in a system that ranks people according to their salary; and we will try to answer the underlying question: how can people connect with each other in the modern age Modernity's preference for science and social science also troubled Dostoevsky. If human actions are scientifically predictable, can people ever be free We will examine the unsavory solutions Dostoevsky offered: spite, game-playing, crime, radical nihilism, and others. Do religions, with all their glaring contradictions, offer a viable answer The search for answers to these and other questions will open up new vistas and will educate students about one of the most influential world writers, the author of such classics as Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov.
