More About This Textbook

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Examines how Dostoevsky grappled with the notion that the material world slows towards death, and thereby inertia. Argues that he rejected materialism but realized that humans were part of the material world and subject to its laws, so that the only way to overcome the inertia of death was to believe in God and eternal life in the spirit. Based on both published and personal writings. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
