الحكم
ليست في أعمال Fyodor Dostoevsky
The formula does not appear in this form in The Brothers Karamazov. In Book II, ch. VI, Miusov summarises an idea of Ivan's: if faith in immortality were destroyed in mankind, 'everything would be permitted', even cannibalism; later Rakitin, Dmitri and Smerdyakov return to 'everything is permitted'. The condensed sentence spread in the twentieth century, above all after Sartre used it in Existentialism Is a Humanism (1946).
