An analysis of the notions of truth, evil, and beauty at work in Dostoevsky’s writing.
Octavian Gabor examines the notions of truth, evil, and beauty at work in the writing of Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Venturing beyond philosophical ideas and exploring theological notions such as theandricity and theosis, Gabor evaluates Dostoevsky's key novels (The Idiot,Crime and Punishment, andBrothers Karamazov) and asserts that Dostoevsky, being influenced by Eastern Christian theology, constructed a personal notion of truth associated with the notion of beauty.
This is a book about how to become a person. Inspired by Greek philosophy, Judeo-Christian scripture, and twentieth-century witnessing, Gabor shows us how Dostoevsky, in the midst of moral catastrophe, manages to make his case against punitive judgment and for positive joy. * Caryl Emerson, Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Princeton University, USA *
