Description:
This book employs the philosophical and theological background of Dostoevsky's writing as a means of explicating the Legend of the Grand Inquisitor in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Russian quasi-religious thought as it was influenced by Western revolutionary doctrine and Hegelian thought contemporary in Dostoevsky's Russia is the key to understanding the Legend. According to Sandoz, the Legend is a seminal instance of modern political millenarianism stemming from such speculation.
