Episode 25: Social Status and Psychology in Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground"

In this episode of Godward Podcast, we learn why eye-contact is so interesting, and what it has to do with social status -- and we learn of the psychology of depression and anxiety, although I don't like to use those labels. Dostoevsky seems to pull a trick on unwary readers, and shows them that the sad sack anti-hero main character of "Notes from Underground" may not be very different from most of us. In fact, he might be just a little more honest.
