Dostoevsky

To value a way of life, different from that of us humans

ETHICS: 'Secondary experiences' train us to empathize with people who are in situations we ourselves have no experience with. Martha Nussbaum believes that fiction such as Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky can do this.

"The individual must see it as their highest goal to live for others"

Dostoevsky is at least as "contemporary" as many of our actual contemporaries.
