The article establishes a dialogue between (i) [thesis] the diatribes of Ivan Karamazov, a character of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s (1821-1881) novel The Brothers Karamazov (1878-1880), related to the eschatological coexistence of a Creator, who is supremely good, and evil throughout creation; (ii) [antithesis] Augustine of Hippo’s (354 A.D.-430 A.D.) theological and philosophical ressignification of evil’s and freedom’s nature in his Confessions (397-398 A.D.); and (iii) [(an attempt of) synthesis] the notions of plurality of existences, reincarnation and the healing of the spirit from The Book of Spirits (1857) and The Gospel according to Spiritism (1864), by Allan Kardec (1804-1869), spiritist doctrine’s encoder.Downloads
