The Author, who is a Psychotherapist and Professor of Theology, describes three types of contemporary atheistic or deistic intellectuals infecting our society. These are (taken from Dostoyevski’s novels): Stavroghin, Kiriloff and Versiloff.

They are offering a perspective either of suicide, or of an animal "happiness" without notions of "conscience" or "immortality".

The only acceptable solution gives, finally, Alyosha Karamazoff.
