"To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Living in an age of rapid advancement, we face ethical questions that echo Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground. His work reminds us that the question of who we are resists easy answers. In a world increasingly driven by logic, technology, and efficiency, with the addition of distractions such as social media, the Underground Man's bitter protest still forces us to ask: What does it truly mean to be human?

Notes from the Underground - does not offer easy solutions. Instead, Dostoevsky exposes the complexities of human will and the paradoxes at the heart of our desire for both freedom and meaning.

Main themes of this session:

  • Freedom
  • Suffering
  • Material/Spiritual success
  • Responsibility
  • Rejection of Rationalism.
