9: Existentialism: Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
Update: 2025-01-15
Description
In this first episode of our new series on existentialism, we delve into Dostoevsky’s masterpiece, Crime and Punishment, exploring it through the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. What drives Raskolnikov to commit murder? Is he a true Übermensch, or does he crumble under the weight of his own existential despair?
We’ll examine themes of guilt, morality, and the will to power, and discuss how Dostoevsky’s portrayal of Raskolnikov critiques and parallels Nietzsche’s ideas.
