While he is most popularly known as a Russian novelist, he greatly influenced the philosophy of Existentialism with his message "the purpose of life is to act properly by being authentic to yourself". His 1864 novel Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature, emphasising the existence of and individual freedom and authenticity as a necessary part of humankind. Walter Kaufmann refers to Existentialism as "not a philosophy but a label for several widely different revolts against traditional philosophy". That is more accurate for Dostoevsky as he never associated himself with being an existentialist.

Similar to my discovery, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I have replaced his use of christianity with humanism in how I read the books, because as much as religion being the centre of his work, I think he is concerned with how people treat each other and the subsequent effects. The consequences of single simple actions bounce around between his characters, often returning metamorphosed to haunt them. This is the beauty of really great literature : there is no need to share the entire lexicon of the authors belief system, in order to benefit from the examination of the human condition taking place. I don't know if you've noticed this, but some of my favourite music that has stayed with me for many years, has had it's meaning alter over time as I re-understand myself. I think great literature is the same kind of journey, which is why in a few years time I intend to re-read them all and get round to Notes from the Underground.

Incredible writer, you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for this amazing work about Dostoevsky. Everyone who is watching this video as recommended, please start reading Dostoevsky. I started with Crime & Punishment & later The Idiot, Brothers Karamazov, The Gambler... There are a lot of great writers who influence in our lives, there's nothing like reading, but Dostoevsky is one of a kind. You have explained so much details about each book, too many quotes I have written somewhere, I adore all his characters, his deepness in writting & understanding.... but I only know FYODOR DOESTOEVSKY IS THE BEST TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD "God" , "Human nature" , " Human soul" & "Life"....

Brothers Karamazov changed my life. It is my favorite book, and I think it's perfectly possible that it's the best novel ever written.

This is my favorite of all your series. I'm learning a lot about philosophy. Thank you!

I was surprised that Dostojevski did't appreciate Idiot himself. I remember reading it like "just one more chapter" to the very end just in few days. Dialogue, all the angles to discover and decipher, all that is amazing, something to read not only twice. All the others Crime and Punishment, Notes from the Underground, Demons, Brothers Karamazov deserve all praise that they get. Great video also, thank you!

I think my favorite thing about Dostoevsky is how his words are not only enlightening, but equally entertaining. The deceptively simple, yet enjoyable, prose of his is so digestible yet so dense with expansive philosophy. I still have yet to read all of his writing. But, I can say out of those of his that I have, The Brothers Karamazov is probably one of the most important and influential books I have ever finished. I remember reading chapters, or even pages, of it and, after putting it down, being stuck in contemplation for some time. His beautiful teachings have made me realize the weight of my actions and understand, that it is great to have ambition, but you must consider your fellow human. Every interaction we have, every shoulder bumped, every moment of empathetic compassion shown, could lead to a changed man, for better or worse. So live your life, but through that life be cognizant of your impact on others because it is persistently huge, whether you realize it or not.

To be taken to the edge of death and held there for days, from sentencing to firing squad and to hear the rifles clatter to the ready, only to pulled away. To live. To be alive again. It is psychological torture only in the eyes the executioner. To the victim it can be a gift of supreme spiritual power especially for a mind like Dostoyevsky’s. His insight into the human mind and his literary out put convinced me of it.

I knew Crime & Punishment was genius when I read it because every word crept up & down my spine. But this context reminder, many years & much experience later, summarises its skin-crawling brilliance well.

The book, more than 900 pages, which makes "Brothers Karamazov", is a very difficult book because there are so many characters each in its unique role. Once you start reading you will not stop. It is an amazing piece of literary work which has dry and wet, hot and cold and crime and punishment all rolled in one. Can I say it is a murder mystery or social drama? The answer is both because there is philosophy and religion which moulds a person and his outlook. It is an addition to my personal library.

As an Orthodox Christian and a Slav, I can say that Dostoyevsky converted more people to Christianity, than any missionary expedition.

That's amazing Emily! Happy I could contribute to you reading Dostoevsky's great works. That's what keeps me going and making these videos. The Brothers Karamazov is equally amazing. Happy reading! :)

Have you been to the scene of the events described in the novel? Have you been to St. Petersburg, in Stolyarny Lane?

Just imagine that children of 13 years old in Russia have to read almost all the books that have been listed in previous messages in literature lessons 🤯

Yet still, very unfortunately, the crime rates in Russia are hyper high.

You can't read Dostoevskij at 13 years old. I might also argue that many 18 years old would have problems reading him.

The school program is designed to instill hate for the great literature.

@@nikokapanen82 Dozens of jails are closed each year in Russia because crime rates are falling steadily while in the US the number of incarcerated, very unfortunately, is higher than ever and keeps climbing. In fact it is higher than in China which has a population more than 4x larger!

my brother i appreciate your channel so much!! thanks for your work

Fascinated after watching the first video of this channel. After watching some titles of other videos I hit the subscribed button💥 my first encounter with Dostoevsky was Notes from the underground. that was translated version of my native language. After reading that book I was pretending to buy all of Dostoevsky's works. Unfortunately, I can not collect those yet. But I might be collect those within this year. I didn't know about Dostoevsky properly. now I do learn a lot from this video. Keep growing :3

Great video, you've earned a new subscriber. And Dostoevsky will always be the greatest writer for me the way he explained complex human emotions is a work of genius.
