Books by Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский mentioned on podcasts
Fyodor Dostoevsky and his literary works were discussed across several podcast episodes regarding philosophy, human nature, and societal critiques. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Dr. John Vervaeke discussed The Brothers Karamazov alongside Notes from Underground, noting he recently taught them in a literature course focused on the meaning crisis. Dr. Peterson also examined Notes from Underground to illustrate that humans would ultimately reject a socialist utopian vision filled with endless satisfaction. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Tim Urban referenced Dostoevsky's The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov to illustrate themes of naive trust and love through the characters Prince Myshkin and Alyosha Karamazov. Jordan Peterson quoted Prince Myshkin from The Idiot, emphasizing the idea that beauty will save the world, while Lex Fridman shared that The Idiot was his favorite book because he resonated with Myshkin's ideas and later questioned whether The Brothers Karamazov is the greatest book ever written. On On Purpose with Jay Shetty, the host referenced a book titled Brothers Manual, discussing how risk and danger bring calm to individuals like Ari Emanuel.

Discussed“And maybe we could do that by referring to the Grand Inquisitor in the Brothers Karamazov, as long as we put it together with Notes from Underground, which I just taught for a course. I did a course on literature in the meaning crisis, and so I that you use notes.”

Discussed“Well, there is, I mean, with Dostoyevsky's 'The Idiot,' Prince Mishkin, and 'Brothers Karamazov,' there's Alyosha Karamazov, you err on the side of love and almost like a naive trust in other human beings.”
