A timely re-issue of the Notes with an Introduction that is a lively and informative invitation to engage with Dostoevsky's text.Raymond Boisvert, Department of Philosophy, Siena College
In this early work from Fyodor Dostoevsky, the role and domain of the anti-hero is explored and exposed. In his self-appointed removal from society, the narrator attempts to dissect the complicated rules, both spoken and unspoken, of human interactions as well as the driving force and reason behind individual morality and universal truths. He descends into a chaos of contradictions as he attempts to prove his own superiority and understanding of morality while simultaneously revealing his intense self-loathing and hatred for society as a whole. While describing this distaste for the society he has removed himself from, it is also clear that he obsesses over and longs to rejoin this culture he has ruined for himself. This work is a detailed and intellectual exploration of free will vs. determinism, moral ambiguity, existentialism, and a complicated but honest assessment of one's own soul. To overcome truth and ascend humanity, Dostoevsky's narrator must face an attempt to rationalize the endless contradictions of life, self, and society.
