	"The Metaphysical Meaning of the Legend" from "The Grand Inquisitor" - Antanas Maceina
		The Grand Inquisitor is thus based on the belief that in Dostoevskii's poem, the legend of the grand inquisitor which he included in the Brothers Karamazov, there lies a metaphysics of history.
		The whole legend of the Grand Inquisitor is one great and long speech by the old man. But this speech is nothing else than an analysis of the admonitions and warnings already mentioned, an attempt to show that Christ by not listening to them made an irreparable mistake.
		The legend of the Grand Inquisitor is a poem, as Ivan titles it at the beginning, but a poem in the highest sense historical, for its object is the whole history of mankind.

	Researching the Brothers Karamazov - Introductions: Anne Fremantle
		The Grand Inquisitor promises man, as Satan promised Christ in the desert, everything in exchange for the one thing that makes man man: freedom, this terrible, absolute freedom of man's will to choose or to reject at any and every moment what his own conscience shows him to be a moral good.
		Man, says the Grand Inquisitor, desires "not only to live, but to have something to live for." However, this "stable object" of an other-directed life must, according to Christ's teaching, be chosen by man's free conscience, aware of good and evil and always able to choose between them.
		In this latter, the Grand Inquisitor and the King's confessor, the scoundrel Domingo, are contrasted with a Carthusian prior.

	The Inquisitor's Argument
		The majority of people, according to the Grand Inquisitor, are weak and "like sheep." Jesus prized freedom of faith above all else, and because he cared more for that freedom than for the happiness of people, the Grand Inquisitor and the Catholic Church, as led by he Inquisitor, reject Jesus.
		Jesus refuses, reminding Satan that the Scriptures say "do not tempt the Lord your God." The Inquisitor claims that even if man were to have "earthly bread" in abundance, without a "stable conception of the object of life," man would not continue to live, and any who would lead men must captivate their consciences.
		The Inquisitor and his organization intend to "pick up the Sword of Caesar," symbolic of earthly power, and use it to captivate and rule the entire world, falsely declaring that it is in Christ's name.

	Friedman, Marx, and the Grand Inquisitor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Dostoevsky's short story The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor, which is incorporated into the novel which he titled The Brothers Karamazov, consists of a dialogue, only partially vocalized, between Jesus and the character known as the Grand Inquisitor.
		Jesus is thus seen as a proponent of the freedom to choose between good and evil, whereas the Grand Inquisitor represents the case in which paternal authoritarian governance rescinds the freedom of choice in an attempt to promote mankind's contentment.
		Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor, who can be interpreted as representing communism, argues for paternalism, for authoritarianism, and for the governance of mankind by a small number of elite.

	Leo Strauss and the Grand Inquisitor
		Like the Grand Inquisitor, Strauss thought that society must be governed by a pious elite (George Bush the second and the Christian fundamentalists who support him fit this role perfectly).
		Like the Grand Inquisitor, he thought that it was better for human beings to be victims of this noble delusion than to “wallow” in the “sordid” truth.
		So, despite his rejection of Christ, the Grand Inquisitor is modeled on the Christian conception of a suffering God who bears the burden for humanity.
