Who Really Understood Human Suffering?

In 1887, Friedrich Nietzsche picked up a novel he had never heard of, written by a Russian author he had never read, and within pages declared it one of the most extraordinary discoveries of his life. He called Dostoevsky the only psychologist who had ever taught him anything. He said reading him was a stroke of luck he ranked alongside his first encounter with Schopenhauer. Then he proceeded to spend the rest of his career building a philosophy that Dostoevsky would have recognised as the most dangerous idea in history. --------- Psychological autopsies of society, through literature.
