Miroslav Volf explores agapic love, creation's goodness, and God's grief—an alternative to despair, power, and world rejection.“When a wanted child is born, the immense joy of many parents often renders them mute, but their radiant faces speak of surprised delight: ‘Just look at you! It is so very good that you are here!' This delight precedes any judgment about the beauty, functionality, or moral rectitude of the child. The child's sheer existence, the mere fact of it, is ‘very good.' That's what I propose God, too, exclaimed, looking at the new-born world. And that unconditional love grounds creation's existence.”In this fourth Gifford Lecture, Miroslav Volf contrasts the selective and self-centered love of Ivan Karamazov with the radically inclusive, unconditional love of Father Zosima. Drawing deeply from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Genesis's creation and flood narratives, and Hannah Arendt's concept of amor mundi, Volf explores a theology of agapic love: unearned, universal, and enduring. This is the love by which God sees creation as “very good”—not because it is perfect, but because it exists. It's the love that grieves corruption without destroying it, that sees responsibility as mutual, and that offers the only hope for life in a deeply flawed world. With references to Luther, Nietzsche, and modern visions of power and desire, Volf challenges us to ask what kind of love makes a world, sustains it, and might one day save it. “Love the world,” he insists, “or lose your soul.”Episode Highlights“The world will either be loved with unconditional love, or it'll not be loved at all.”“Unconditional love abides. If the object of love is in a state that can be celebrated, love rejoices. If it is not, love mourns and takes time to help bring it back to itself.”“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all. Each needs forgiveness from all. Each must forgive all.”“Creation is not primarily sacramental or iconic. It is an object of delight both for humans and for God.”“Agapic love demands nothing from the beloved, though it cares and hopes much for them and for the shared world with them.”Show NotesSchopenhauer and Nietzsche's visions of happiness: pleasure and power as substitutes for love“Love as hunger”: the devouring nature of epithemic desireIvan Karamazov's tragic love for life—selective, gut-level, and self-focused“There is still… this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me”Father Zosima's universal love for “every leaf and every ray of God's light”“Love man also in his sin… Love all God's creation”Sonya and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment: love as restoration“She loved him and stayed with him—not although he murdered, but because he murdered”God's declaration in Genesis: “And look—it was very good”Hannah Arendt's amor mundi—“I want you to be” as pure affirmationCreation as gift: “Each is itself by being more than itself”Martin Luther on marriage, sex, and delight as godly pleasuresThe flood as hypothetical: divine grief replaces divine destruction“It grieved God to his heart”—grief as a form of agapic love“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all.”Agape over erotic love: not reward and punishment, but faithful presence and care“Agapic love demands nothing… It is free, sovereign to love, humble.”Closing invitation: to live the life of love, under whatever circumstancesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

In a film in which the audience buys its tickets knowing who will play the title role, what happens when you don't have him enter the frame until a solid hour has passed? How does the focus shift from the horrific villain to the horror felt by his victims? Richard Fleischer's The Boston Strangler (1968) isn't a faithful retelling of Albert DeSalvo's crimes or an explanation of his compulsion: he's not Raskolnikov or Buffalo Bill. Instead, the film masterfully involves its viewers in the procedure of the hunt before throwing them into what feels like a separate one-act play, a conclusion in which nothing is concluded. Gerold Frank's The Boston Strangler was the basis for the film: you can find the book here. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

She is surprised and scared by the sudden visit.

Sonya clearly cares deeply for her stepmother and is troubled to think that she might soon pass away from her illness, leaving her children defenseless. She clings to the belief that God will provide for the family and take care of them. Sonya also reveals that she was a friend of Lizaveta. She actually gave Sonya a copy of the Gospels and a crucifix. Raskolnikov orders Sonya to read him the story of Lazarus. Sonya, after struggling to start, eventually overcomes her fear and reads the story to him. The passage clearly holds some significance for her. Raskolnikov shares his resolution to separate himself from his family to her and asks her to go away with him. He sees her as very similar to him, someone who, because of her work, has also transgressed moral law and "destroyed a life - her very own." He tells her that he knows who murdered Lizaveta, and says he will tell her who did it the next time they see each other.

Raskolnikov tries to be calm and confident with Porfiry but his laughter comes across as a bit strange. He become a bit uneasy when he notices Zamyotov and starts to assume that they much have been talking about him before they arrived. Razumikhin then makes the situation worse by saying that Raskolnikov gets nervous whenever the crime is mentioned. Raskolnikov assumes that Porfiry suspects him, and he nearly looses his cool when Porfiry mentions that he was the only person who pawned items to the victim who didn't come to collect their items. He starts to feel that Porfiry is playing with him. Porfiry mentions that he read an article that Raskolnikov had written "On Crime," and asks him to explain his arguments. Raskolnikov is surprised as he didn't know that it was published, but gladly accepts the challenge. He argued that certain men were above general humanity, and could commit crimes for the betterment of society. Razumikhin finds it very hard to believe that Raskolnikov holds this view, and the two men get up to leave. Just before they get out of the door however, Porfiry asks Raskolnikov if he saw the decorators when he pawned his last item to the victim. He recognises the trap, and tells Porfiry that he didn't, but did see that an apartment was moving, reminding Porfiry that the decorators where there 2 days later, on the day of the crime, not beforehand.

Maria Novella De Luca"Le appassionate"Storie di donne che hanno cambiato il futuroFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itPassaggi Festival, FanoVenerdì 27 giugno 2025, ore 19:30Maria Novella De Luca e Simonetta Fiori "Le appassionate"con Flavia Fratello (giornalista, La7) e Tiziano Ragni (giornalista)https://www.passaggifestival.it/maria-novella-de-luca-2025/L'unica rivoluzione, in un paese senza rivoluzioni, è stata quella delle donne. Invisibile, ostinata, intrecciata alla quotidianità e alla politica, alla giustizia e alla cura, alle battaglie pubbliche e alle rivoluzioni intime. Una rivoluzione senza armi, ma non senza ferite.Questo libro raccoglie le storie di chi ha cambiato il mondo senza aspettare il permesso di farlo. Donne che hanno osato varcare soglie chiuse da secoli, che hanno sfidato istituzioni immobili, che hanno pagato un prezzo per ogni conquista. Alcune lo hanno fatto sotto le luci della ribalta, altre nel silenzio della fatica quotidiana, ma tutte hanno lasciato un segno, spesso più profondo di quanto la storia sia disposta a riconoscere.Dalla politica alla medicina, dall'informazione ai diritti civili, dall'università al sindacato, queste testimonianze tracciano un filo di resistenza e cambiamento, una memoria che non deve andare perduta. Non solo per riconoscere ciò che è stato, ma per capire cosa sta accadendo ora. Perché se il patriarcato non è crollato, se i diritti acquisiti rischiano di sgretolarsi sotto il peso delle nuove disuguaglianze, allora questa rivoluzione non è finita.E le battaglie delle madri e delle nonne risuonano nelle lotte delle nuove generazioni, nelle parole di chi ancora oggi si ribella alle ingiustizie, nei gesti di chi non accetta di fare passi indietro. Queste storie raccolte dalla voce delle protagoniste, che ci hanno consegnato anche il lato privato delle loro vite, sono un testimone affidato a chi continuerà a lottare. Perché la rivoluzione delle donne resta aperta, viva, necessaria. Raccontarla significa difenderla.La rivoluzione delle donne è silenziosa ma inarrestabile. E se oggi rischia di arretrare, raccontarla diventa un atto politico.“Se la battaglia per i diritti non finisce, nemmeno la memoria deve finire.”Maria Novella De Luca è inviata di “Repubblica”, dove da molti anni si occupa di cronaca, diritti civili, questioni di genere e inchieste sociali.

The instruments of measurement have been corroded everywhere.” – Alex KarpThe Left Broke Everything: People are sick of their border not being a border, their United Nations not being united, their schools not functioning as schools, and their government only taking inflows but not creating productive outflowsAn Essentialism Future: Every institution must clearly define its purpose, be transparent in what it spends to reach its objectives, and measure its output – which should be greater than its input Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast (#456) Peace Through Strength: " “I think that we share a position on peace through strength.

It means that if you are strong, you can speak.” - ZelenskyyTrump can stop this war: “I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the European leaders always ask, “How was it?” This shows the influence of Donald Trump, and this has never happened before with an American president.” – ZelenskyyNo US, No NATO: If the U.S. left NATO, it would essentially fall apart. The U.S. is critical to NATO's strength and global security. The role America played in World War II shows how much its support matters in conflicts like thisForgiveness? “Russia will have to apologize. This will happen because they are guilty.”– ZelenskyyUkraine's future is with Europe, not Russia: “I think the most important thing is to remain open and not change our direction because culturally aligning with Russia, it's one idea, while aligning with Europe is another. Our people have chosen Europe.

Fiodor Dostoïevski, écrivain russe majeur du XIXe siècle, a marqué l'histoire littéraire avec ses œuvres explorant les thèmes de la culpabilité, de la morale et du salut. Condamné en 1849 pour des activités révolutionnaires, il échappe de justesse à la mort et purge quatre ans de travaux forcés en Sibérie, une expérience qui le transforme profondément. Son roman Crime et Châtiment (1866) raconte l'histoire de Raskolnikov, un meurtrier tourmenté, et interroge les frontières du bien et du mal dans une société marquée par la misère. Dostoïevski y expose l'âme humaine dans toute sa complexité, mêlant souffrance, rédemption et questionnements existentiels. Rongé par les dettes, le deuil et son addiction au jeu, il traverse une vie tourmentée tout en développant une vision nationaliste et religieuse du monde. Malgré ses positions controversées, son œuvre puissante reste universelle, touchant les générations de lecteurs. Dostoïevski est à la fois un explorateur des ténèbres humaines et un penseur visionnaire, capable de transformer la souffrance en art.

Support Our Cause at https://libri-vox.org/donate Crime and Punishment is the second of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia, and is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. The novel focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in an attempt to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime while ridding the world of a vermin, and to test a theory of his that some people are naturally superior and have the right to commit crimes if it is in pursuit of a higher purpose.

In this episode of Parsha & Prose, we delve into the profound themes of the double Torah portion, Netzavim-Va'yelech, through the lens of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Just as the main character in 'Crime and Punishment', Raskolnikov, grapples with his moral dilemmas and the weight of his actions, the Israelites stand at a pivotal moment, choosing between obedience and rebellion. This portion emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility and the consequences of our choices, echoing Raskolnikov's internal struggle with guilt and redemption. We'll explore how the calls for repentance and the promise of renewal in Netzavim-Va'yelech resonate with Dostoevsky's exploration of sin and atonement, inviting us to reflect on our own moral journeys and the paths we choose. Join us as we navigate these complex narratives of human nature, accountability, and the quest for forgiveness. The show is brought to you by The Professional Centre.

In Dostoevsky's book Crime and Punishment, the character Raskolnikov says, “All people seem to be divided into 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary'. The ordinary people must lead a life of strict obedience and have no right to transgress the law because they are ordinary. Whereas the extraordinary people have the right to commit any crime they like…just because they happen to be extraordinary.” Spoken like a true psychopath, my dude. It probably won't surprise you to hear that Raskolnikov murders an old woman in that book—not just for the money, but to prove to himself how “extraordinary” he is. That the rules most of us abide by aren't for him. Today's case is about a modern-day Raskolnikov—a self-proclaimed intellectual whose grandiose narcissism hid a deep well of rage and insecurity, and led him to not only commit a brutal murder, but to tell us all about it on his blog.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Fyodor Dostoevsky / SOUR HEART by Jenny Zhang Sacre bleu! This week, Andrew digs into his first Dostoevsky—CRIME AND PUNISHMENT— while in Parisian quarantine. Plus, Bailey reviews SOUR HEART, a surprisingly lewd collection of short stories à clef. And of course, we learn how to feel shame in multiple languages. Raskolnikov!
This week, Meduza spoke to Dr. Sergey Radchenko about his next book, To Run the World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming in 2024), which explores the era's diplomatic history, focusing on how narratives of legitimacy offer crucial insights for interpreting Moscow's motivations and foreign policy. The conversation covers telling anecdotes about prominent world leaders like Richard Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev, and Leonid Brezhnev, their psychology, and how individual quirks shaped world events. Dr. Radchenko explains how resentment and the need for legitimacy and recognition drove Soviet decision-making in ways that past literature about communist ideology and imperialism fails to capture.
