I can't believe you aren't going to include The Grand Inquisitor in the reading selection. It is the contra to everything that Ivan says up to that point. It is Ivan's rapture and disdain for what it means to doubt and have faith simultaneously. It is hard to even read any section of this book without the death of Father Zossima giving the reader the foundation that indeed Alyosha is willing to reflect Ivan sickness.
