There are many pathways to self-knowledge, bearing hardship and cultivating wisdom. One is to recognize the psycho-spiritual unity from which false pride and true humility diverge. This class aims to center ourselves in this dynamic unity-duality with the assistance of Fyodor Dostoevsky. We will discover how the vision he channels through The Brothers Karamazov activates our individual and communal awareness of the mysteries, simplicities, and complexities of our life journeys. Note: Please bring to class Constance Garnett's translation of The Brothers Karamazov to enhance interactive reading and discussion and to avoid translation discrepancies.
