Crime and Punishment | Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment first published during 1866, remains the most widely known Russian novel as well as one of the greatest achievements in world literature.
The book is disguised as a murder mystery, in which the reader knows from the start who has committed the crime. This in-depth exploration of the psychology of a criminal is at the heart of the novel, delving deeply into psychological punishment.
The main themes include alienation, suffering, morality, faith (or the God-man, Jesus Christ) and the “extraordinary man” (or the man-God), as well as the philosophical themes of nihilism and utilitarianism.
The protagonist Raskolnikov, is an alienated materialistic rationalist, as well as an atheist and nihilist, taken by the idea that God is dead, believing himself to be an extraordinary man allowed to transgress accepted moral standards for the common good, with a clean conscience.

Something that struck me was how Raskolnikov, whenever he recounted the murder, completely left out murdering the sister. At least to me, it's clear that he cannot find any reason whatsoever that would even remotely justify his action. Meaning that conscience still is a force active inside him and/or that as much as he is a materialist/nihilist he nevertheless needs a justification, feeble as it may be, for killing He cannot justify killing the sister to himself and so he attempts to forget the fact because he cannot but be moral

Hey... really appreciate the spoiler alert. That's really cool of you to give away what seems like one the more important parts of the novel. Incredibly selfish, uncourteous, and just down right robbery to those who have not read it. If you even realize just what little you shared could just really "take away" to some of those really appreciate works of literature and just literature as a whole. That was such a jerk move and I don't care what you say about me voicing my opinion about your childish spoiler alert. Have some God damn respect for those who have not read such a brilliant novel! I mean really, who does that on application/site where people can read tainted posts such as yours potentially ruining a legendary tale such as Fodor's "Crime and Punishment". Refrain from your ignorant and foolish posts for people who have not had the honor due to their busy lives. I hate spoiler alerts and individuals such as yourself should consider such outcomes of your reckless post
The fact that Dostoevsky accurately predicted the horrors of the 20th Century makes him all the more profound. He was a man who was truly touched by God.

I think there could be a philosophy essay that proposes the book as the thought experiment and the epilogue can be the whole analysis. PArticularly the consequence of every individual thinking and acting as Raskolnikov did at the time of the murder. I think that this "consequentialist" (?) view is what Kant proposed?

Summed it up well. In fact Fyodor Dostoyevisk wanted to show that socialist nihilism is not as powerful and strong as he thinks it is. There is a metaphor here, with Rodka as the man who seeks to be the superman, above ordinary mortals. At first, extremely materialistic, he commits murder for money and as his punishment unfolds, his conscience appears, which torments him and leads him to the true treasure, Sophia, a name whose meaning is wisdom. So he started it all in materialistic nihilism and ended it in the wisdom of faith, which brought him peace and comfort and actually indicated that he was not a superman.

@@gvancakupreishvili7220 Eastern philosophy is fascinating. I believe a mix of both Western and Eastern can give us a more holistic approach to human thought. Such as Lao Tzu (Taoism), the Buddha (Buddhism) and Hinduism. I wouldn't say one is superior to the other. Although, Nietzsche famously said: “I imagine future thinkers in whom European-American indefatigability is combined with the hundredfold-inherited contemplativeness of the Asians: such a combination will bring the riddle of the world to a solution.”

Fun fact: Marmeladov is actually based on Dostoevsky. He was also an alcoholic and gambling addict. His daughter who died in infancy was named Sonya. And the characteristics between Marmeladov’s wife and FD’s wife are same. To know more, listen to Episode 20 of MartyrMade Podcast (it’s 5hrs long btw). It’s based on FD and Nietzsche.

What?! He killed that person not because of some moral dilemma, but because he owed her money. Gee, what kind of translation did you read?!
Aside from this novel being just horribly written (it seriously has 3 solid hours of nothing but adjectives and descriptions), there's nothing even slightly thought-provoking. What exactly is so brilliant here? . The man had a point. Some people might be better off dead. He could have killed the old woman who was only causing misery, take her money, and do a world of good with it. The *ONLY* reason this doesn't work out is that he feels guilty afterwards. What point is this making? That he could definitely have done alright if only he hadn't felt guilty? . Then he gets the hots for a chick and that "brings him back from alienation". Clearly this guy didn't have Tinder back in the day, he could have any old chick he wants if he had the right kind of game. . I simply do not understand why people think this novel is good. There's nothing philosophical here -- the only reason he failed was he felt guilty. There's nothing intellectual or poetic here either. It's an extremely simple story with an extremely simple point that's stretched unbearably long.
