Exploring Fyodor Dostoevsky’s existential thought through the problem of the other
Nikolay V. Ryabchinskiy, Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science 2024 No. 82 P. 107–118
Dostoevsky’s existential thought cannot be adequately understood outside the context of the Christian tradition with which he associated himself. Dostoevsky develops his ideas in accordance with the doctrine of “sobornost” by which God reveals himself primarily as the “bosom of universal synthesis”. Such a condition precedes the individual separateness and subjective isolation. Dostoevsky postulates the ...

В данной работе речь идет о ключевой роли осмысления Достоевским активно проявившихся в его время программ переустройства мира и попыток их реализации. Делается это Достоевским в глубоком религиозном христологическом контексте, что выводит осмысление далеко за рамки простого осуждения реализации социалистических идей, позволяя выйти не только на понимание причин краха советского эксперимента, но и на горизонты социального и человеческого ...
