Parallel Lives

- They both experienced sensitive childhoods, health issues, family pressure, and early career disillusionment.
Coincidental Apartment Search
- Nietzsche found uncanny coincidences in Dostoevsky's "The Landlady".
- The book began with the protagonist searching for a new apartment, mirroring Nietzsche's own situation.

There’s a quote always attributed to Winston Churchill – falsely, I think? – that goes something like, “If you’re not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by 30, you have no brain.” I’ve got a different version that I like a lot better, and it goes, “If you’re not reading Nietzsche at 20, you have no heart. But if you haven’t transitioned to Dostoevsky by 30…” In this episode, I look through the lives and work of the two 19th century existentialist authors, who have a great deal in common, but who, in the end, couldn’t be more different.
