        <description><![CDATA[What the character is saying is that if human life ends at death, and there is no afterlife, then there is no reason for having moral standards. This idea also addressed in several of Nietzsche's books including "The Will to Power". One theme in "The Brothers Karamazov" considers human behavior and purpose. The characters of faith behave in a certain way because they believe they will be judged by God for their choices and behavior. Others do...]]></description>
