The present dissertation seeks to grasp the relation between suffering and meaning in the Human condition in Dostoiévski s The Brothers Karamázov , with a particular emphasis on its significance to modern man as well as the purpose of finding a place for a possible contribution from the clinical practice of phenomenology. For that purpose I make use of the method of existential phenomenology in an effort to grasp the intentionality issues involved. In the first chapter I strive to understand Dostoiévski s work in the light of its Russian Orthodox sources, dealing with the authors who studied and commented it and concentrating in further detail on the reading of such categories as suffering, Christianity and Human condition as they appear in this masterpiece of Russian Literature. The Second Chapter is a descriptive compilation of the life of Ivan Karamázov (the main carachter of the book) followed by a phenomenological analysis of his personality and actions, whereby one is led to see how the failure of the notion of Man s sufficiency, which the carachter embodies, and his increasing alienation from the supernatural source of his being, is likely to tear him apart as he seeks to avoid the Human consequences of his passions. Finally, in Chapter 3, I endeavour, in the light of my prime subjects, i.e., suffering and meaning, to establish how Dostoiévski s thought, the main carachter of his book and modern man may be referred to each another, what leads me to the conclusion that the meaning of suffering resides not in suffering itself, but in Man s attitude towards it, be it one of confrontation or denial, acceptance or revolt. Although it in fact exists, is necessary and cannot be denied (denial of suffering is dangerous as it may lead to greater, infernal suffering), suffering is no drive to transformation apart from the diverse meanings which may be attributed to it. Nevertheless, for its acceptance and transformation to be operative, the supernatural aspect in the Human condition must be incorporated. Psycotherapy may contribute to this process of Man s self-revelation by facilitating the first step: not lying to one s self
