Today we talk about the philosophical themes that Dostoevsky had in mind when writing Crime and Punishment. We talk about Russian Nihilism and its consequences. Rational Utilitarianism and Egoism. A common misunderstanding of Raskolnikov as an embodiment of Nietzsche's work. Confession. Guilt. Affirming life through consent. And much more.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • I'm Steven West.

  • This is Philosophize This.

  • So today we're talking about Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.

  • And while there's no substitute for reading the actual book,

  • you know, sitting down, giving yourself the gift of feeling the characters,

  • putting yourself in the experience directly, being that this is a philosophy podcast,

  • we can talk about some of the philosophical themes.

  • Dostoevsky definitely had in mind as he was writing this book.

  • See, to know about the deepening of Russian nihilism at the time,

  • the rise of what you could call eventually the narcissism of modernity.

  • To know about the crisis of faith that many people are encountering across the world.

  • Well,

  • this is some philosophical context that can be easily missed if you were taking a purely literary approach to the book.

  • And, you know, take it from me.

  • The last thing you want to be in this world is simply a librarian.

  • You want to be a philosopher librarian.

  • That's the life goal you should be aiming for.

  • Anyway, that said, the main character we're going to be talking about today is one of the most memorable,

  • relatable characters and maybe all of classic literature.
