Dostoevsky's 'Brothers Karamazov' - Art, Creativity, and Spirituality

This volume combines essays by well-established scholars of Dostoevsky with those by newer voices; it brings together authors from several different countries (France, Germany, USA, Russia, England) representing varying traditions of approaching Dostoevsky's novels; most importantly, however, it is the first collection that crosses the often too rigid lines between philosophy and literature. While there have been a number of attempts to re-establish a significant dialogue between literature and philosophy in recent years, virtually no cross-disciplinary studies of Dostoevsky have been attempted. This absence of interdisciplinary literature is remarkable given that Dostoevsky is often acknowledged to be a leading 'novelist of ideas.' There is no better place to begin such a collaborative effort than Dostoevsky's last novel, 'The Brothers Karamazov', which Freud called "the greatest novel ever written."
