And why did He answer with a kiss? In this episode, we explore the philosophical heart of The Brothers Karamazov — Ivan's "Rebellion" and his haunting parable, "The Grand Inquisitor." These two chapters have shaken thinkers from Nietzsche to Camus to Freud. Ivan doesn't ask whether God exists. He asks something far more dangerous: Is God's world morally acceptable? Using real stories of children's suffering, Ivan builds an airtight case against divine justice — then tells Alyosha a story set in 16th century Seville, where Christ returns only to be arrested by the Church itself. The Inquisitor's accusation? Freedom was a mistake. Humanity is too weak to bear it. Christ's response? Silence. Then a kiss. This is not a debate that can be won with logic. It's one that must be lived. —————————————— ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction — A Philosophical Earthquake 01:41 The Tavern — Ivan and Alyosha 01:53 The Karamazov Force — Irrational Love of Life 02:44 The General's Hunt — Suffering of the Innocent 03:33 The Architect's Dilemma — Would You Consent? 04:09 "I Return My Ticket" 04:38 The Grand Inquisitor — 16th Century Seville 04:47 Christ's Silent Return 05:45 The Three Temptations — Bread, Miracle, Authority 06:44 "We Are With Him" — The Terrible Secret 07:16 The Kiss — Christ's Wordless Answer 08:06 Alyosha's Kiss — Literary Theft 09:22 The Stench — Faith Without Miracle 10:38 Why It Still Matters Today 11:15 Next Episode — Dimitri's Trial —————————————— 📚 DOSTOEVSKY SERIES This is Episode #13 in our ongoing exploration of Fyodor Dostoevsky's life and works. ▶️ Watch the full series:    • Dostoyevsky's Life & Works   —————————————— #Dostoevsky #TheBrothersKaramazov #GrandInquisitor #RussianLiterature #Philosophy #Theodicy #IvanKaramazov #Alyosha #FreedomVsSecurity #Nietzsche #Camus #Freud #ExistentialPhilosophy #ChristianPhilosophy #LiteraryAnalysis #ClassicLiterature #BookTube #역사를품은문학 #도스토예프스키 #카라마조프 —————————————— 🌏 역사를 품은 문학 / Literature Embracing History "Books contain the breath of their times."
