5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and more relevant today than ever!, October 24, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grand Inquisitor On the Nature of Man (Paperback)
This is the best short piece I've ever read. This fictional dialogue between the head of the Inquisition and Jesus is more than just a metaphorical commentary on the debate over whether or not humans willingly give up their existential freedom in order to avoid the sometimes awesome responsibility that accompanies it. Dostoyevsky's classic also serves as a powerful critique of institutional religion and, by implication, all institutions (gov't, education, corporations, welfare system, etc.) who offer "bread" in exchange for the sacrifice of free choice. A "must read" for educators, social scientists, politicians, organizational consultants, policymakers, and corporate executives.
