After more than a century, the urgency with which the writing of
Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche speaks to us is
undiminished. Nietzsche explicitly acknowledged Dostoevsky’s
relevance to his work, noting its affinities as well as itspoints
of opposition. Both of them are credited with laying much of the
foundation for what came to be called existentialist thought. The
essays in this volume bring a fresh perspective to a relationship
that illuminates a great deal of twentieth-centuryintellectual
history. Among the questions taken up by contributors are the
possibility of morality in a godless world, the function of
philosophy if reason is not the highest expression of our humanity,
the nature of tragedy when performed for a bourgeois audience, and
the justification of suffering if it is not divinely sanctioned.
Above all, these essays remind us of the supreme value of the
questioning itself that pervades the work of Dostoevsky and
Nietzsche.
