Description
At the heart of the audiobook is the novella “Ward No. 6,” a work of enormous generalizing power. It juxtaposes two contrasting attitudes toward the world: an active and passive one, full of struggle, versus a conciliatory, contemplative one. The central issue is resolved in philosophical debates between the characters—Ragin and Gromov: should a person respond to “pain, meanness, foulness” and fight it? Or should a person accept everything meekly and submit to evil? Readers received this work with approval. Society saw in it a critique of the philosophy of indifference and non-resistance, and an condemnation of passivity and contemplation.
