Der Großinquisitor by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"Der Großinquisitor" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a philosophical parable written between 1878-1880 as part of his novel *The Brothers Karamazov*. In this profound chapter, one brother recounts an imagined encounter between Christ and the Grand Inquisitor during the Spanish Inquisition. The confrontation raises devastating questions about human freedom, faith, and authority. Through this dramatic dialogue, Dostoyevsky explores whether humanity truly desires the freedom Christ offers, or if people prefer comfortable submission to
earthly power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
