Heidegger once said, 'People who think great thoughts often make great errors'.
This statement represents truth nothing but the truth.It not only applies to Heidegger himself(Being a Nazi) but many other intellectuals (Sartre for his marxism,Russell for his aggressive remarks about USSR,Nietzsche for his uncompromising attitude which intially helped him to get rid off all delusions but eventually led to his insanity,Dostoyevsky for weak christian endings etc).
So after reading Heidegger, i have come to understand the true meaning of Dostoyevsky's statement in his great work 'The Brothers Karamazov'.He said,'In most cases vicious and intelligent people are much more naive and simple minded than we assume them to be'.
Its no wonder why Niezsche regarded Dostoyevsky of having penetrating knowledge of human psycology.
