Die Legende Vom Grossinquisitor
The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor, a pivotal chapter in Dostoevsky's *The Brothers Karamazov*, explores the conflict between faith and freedom through a parable where Christ returns to Earth during the Spanish Inquisition. The Grand Inquisitor, representing institutionalized religion, argues that humanity is incapable of handling true freedom and is better off submitting to authority, offering a powerful and enduring commentary on power, belief, and the human condition.
