The idea of acceptance, especially in the case of this book, is an odd fact. Dostoyevsky is mostly criticizing the idea of just accepting the existence or truth of Evolution or religion, yet he makes it seem that it is inevitable for humans to end up just accepting certain facts of life. Then he goes off on tangents about how there is nothing that we can truly accept with the concept of infinity, and the idea that trying to apply logic to an infinite universe is illogical because the idea of an infinite universe is illogical, as is the idea of trying to define an infinite universe. Yet he seems to point out more often than not, the fact that some people, often foolishly in his eyes, end up accepting this sort of wall, they give up on trying to understand the infinite, and Dostoyevsky is so determined to define the human species that this pondering in itself has become illogical based on his logic, which in itself is illogical.

Sorry the post is late, I wrote it up in Word and before I posted it, I kind of fell asleep.
