This book is the result of two years of work. It explores the suffering, wonder, and meaning inherent to being conscious, and how we can live well within this conundrum of being.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
In this video, we explore the life, work, and philosophy of novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. Specifically, we look into Dostoevsky's views of what it means to suffer, desire happiness, live morally, and define and strive toward these goals in the modern, Western world.
