Langkau, Jana Srna and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Der Großinquisitor" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a philosophical parable published in the late 19th century, embedded within his larger novel "The Brothers Karamazov." This work delves into themes of faith, freedom, and morality, presenting a hypothetical dialogue between Christ and the Grand Inquisitor during the Spanish Inquisition. Dostoyevsky masterfully explores the tension between human freedom and the desire for authority and certainty, questioning the role of faith in a rational, often cruel world. The narrative takes place in Seville, where Christ reappears among the people, performing miracles and generating an overwhelming following. However, He is swiftly arrested by the Grand Inquisitor, a powerful figure who represents the institutional church and its authoritative doctrines. In a prolonged monologue, the Inquisitor argues that humanity is too weak to handle the burden of free will and casts doubt on Christ’s message of freedom, suggesting that people prefer security and control over authentic freedom. He asserts that the church must provide guidance and control to protect mankind from their own frailty. The story culminates in the silent response of Christ to the Inquisitor's accusations, leaving readers to grapple with profound questions about faith, morality, and the nature of human existence.
