This work closely examines the trial of Dmitri Karamazov as the springboard to explaining
and critically assessing Dostoevsky's legal and moral philosophy. The author connects
Dostoevsky's objections to Russia's acceptance of western juridical notions such as
the rule of law and an adversary system of adjudication with his views on fundamental
human nature, the principle of universal responsibility, and his invocation of unconditional
love. Central to Dostoevsky's vision is his understanding of the relationship between
the dual human yearnings for individualism and community. In the process, the author
related Dostoevsky's conclusions to the thought of Plato, Augustine, Anselm, Dante,
Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Sartre. Throughout the work, the author
compares, contrasts, and evaluates Dostoevsky's analyses with contemporary discussions
of the rule of law, the adversary system, and the relationship between individualism
and communitarianism
