Genius is an understatement. There may not be a word that exists to properly describe the brilliance of his literary mind.

I recommend for all those who want to deepen their knowlage of dostoyevsky's work and philosophy that you read Lev Sestov's The Revelations of Death.

Blaise Pascal said that humankind's evil is born of an inability

to stay put in its own room. And Dostoevsky said that perhaps

Hell is a lone chair in an otherwise empty room. And I say:

A wop bop a lu lop, a lop bam boom.

@bayreuth79 No. I do not agree with him trying to condemn non-theistic people as amoral.

[bayreuth79]

@lyon1535 On what basis? Is it because it happens to be inconvenient for you? Dostoyevsky himself was an Orthodox believer who underwent a conversion experience while in a Siberian prison. Throughout the book there are innumerable Christian symbols. For example, in Raskolnikov's scenes with Sonya the symbols of Lazarus raised from the dead and Sonya's giving Raskolnikov a cross; and later the idea that there is redemption through suffering, etc.

@bayreuth79 Which I don't agree with.

[bayreuth79]

@lyon1535 Of course it was Dostoyevsky's intention. If you read the book carefully you will notice that Raskolnikov's redemption is a specifically Christian redemption.
