Episode

[@dimad645]

I think Crime and Punishment is very of the moment because of the Luigi Mangione Crime. I immediately thought of the Dostoyevski novel. Full disclosure: I grew up in the Soviet union, and read C&P in high school. Commentary Magazine podcast had a very interesting episode recently about Luigi and Dostoyevski.

[@Anarcath]

Great audio.... More of Dostoyevsky is always welcome... Nietzsche once said that the only writer he'd ever learned from was Dostoyevsky.

[@Michael-bl5xh]

Loving the exploration of Dostoevsky's works, thank you! I can't wait for more!

[@MichailKuznetsovRU]

I had troubles getting previous episode on my smartphone Spotify for a week and ended up listening it here, imagine how happy I was to get the next episode just immediately afer ❤

[@Chamasettings]

Ive been waiting for a new Dostoevsky episode impatiently! Thanks Stephen and Happy Holidays

[@edvardasslikas6030]

You are our atonement for not reading all the books we should have.

[@alexwixom4599]

Our philosophical sherpa, I couldn't get up this figurative mountain without people like him. I hear the view is really great at the top, but I try to enjoy the journey. 😅

[@nazzenpoppel886]

Excellent episode. You brought to light certain nuances of message that I missed when I read it. All this and in plain English with a joke here and there to see who's awake. Спасибо

[@vile4896]

This was amazing, I’d love more parts! I’ve watched every episode so far and am waiting patiently for more 😁😁

[@metingun2192]

Excellent episode! I’m looking forward to the one about The Brothers Karamazov, where I believe Dostoyevsky articulated his vision of an ideal religious person-one he promised in Crime and Punishment-through the character of Alyosha.

[@alanryan7605]

You are a consumate educational entertainer. Thank you.

[@Anarcath]

I think Roskolnikov failed in a sense that he didn’t realize that no one could forgive him, that there is no such thing as forgiveness. He couldn’t overcome himself and own what he’d done and moved on without outside help. And by the way, he would’ve avoided nine years of prison.

[@mtg4lolz287]

Just commenting for the algo, keep up the great work! Dostoevsky has made me reflect on who I am, that smaller version of ourselves that often has an outsized voice, that we repress or project onto others. Thank you!

[@philosophizethispodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@jeremybridge9296]

I read this 15 years ago as an adult, as literature. I found it a bit of a slog. After hearing your episode, I'm considering rereading it. Thanks for the philosophical context. I guess I really needed it.

[@lonelycubicle]

For whatever reason, I started reading “Crime and Punishment” at least three times but never got past somewhere around page 50. But “The Brothers Karamazov” I read through the first try (favorite book ever read.) No idea why I kept stop reading “Crime and Punishment”.

[@iulian2548]

Great insights, thank you!

[@darkness1293]

I'm down for more but if you wanna take a break for a bit and do other things that's cool. 220 can be a good way to round out the "Dostoevsky trilogy'

[@MrsBridgette2012]

Thank you for being so amazing ❤x10

[@esatsaglam2800]

Fantastic episode

[@jerrypeters1157]

This was so good.

[@anthonyv.8668]

Awesome video. Do you plan on making a video for Dostoyevsky's other books?

[@farahali6749]

Dear Stephen. Pls make the next episode on The Idiot. This is extremely enjoyable series. Xx

[@chadefallstar]

Good stuff!

Dostoevsky - Crime and Punishment. Jordan Peterson's "Go-To" book when he attacks "Atheism". Peterson seems to have forgotten that Dostoevsky was a Christian who attacked Atheism. Great Book though.

[@UnfinishedManman]

I don’t know if I’d say attacked it, he saw its limits, the danger of limiting oneself only to the scientific view as there’s something deeper. He was looking for a way out of the abyss and I think Christianity provided that for him. His fallout with the idea crowd, the coffee house communists of his day and his brush with what seemed like certain execution, really affected his philosophy. I have the Brothers on my shelf, read some, man could really write. Freud, among others, say it’s the greatest ever written.

[@myself2noone]

​@@UnfinishedManman"as there's something deeper" based on what evidence?

[@elm3329]

I believe @Philosophize This! never mentioned Jordan Peterson in his videos, and now... I see him liking the one comment criticizing him. Well, I was profoundly impacted by views of Jordan Peterson at the time. He taught me important elements of conservatism that cannot be found in the other political philosophies, in particular, mortality, immortality and existential suffering. I suggest everyone to give him a try, as introductory intellectual to the conservative philosophy, which I think Dostoevsky is a part of.

[@TennesseeJed]

Wow! Another day made!

[@UnfinishedManman]

Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places, I wouldn’t be surprised if her character was just a straight lift of Sonya. I was hoping you would get to Fydor!!

[@drewpanyko5424]

I plan on eventually reading this, but with so many English translations of C&P available, which ones are to he preferred, and why? Any insights would be much appreciated!

[@gambonny]

Are you gonna talk about the best book ever created? The Brothers Karamazov

[@sumantasahoo7841]

I will read the book

[@1JoyPeace]

Kudos, it's themes still stick with me after 40+ years...

[@a.b.19.80.]

Would love to hear what too have to say about “the grand inquisitor” from the brothers karamazov…

[@Whycast]

This sounds like what was going through Luigi Mangiones head when he shot that CEO. He believed he was doing a net positive on the world.

[@Whycast]

Wow I saw someone else’s comment relating the two right after I posted mine! Holy cow

[@BanColPan]

I’m down for more Dostoevsky even though he sounds like naïve positivism to me.

[@musiqtee]

Yes, “narcissism of modernity”… It’s a strange (human) trait of existence _within_ modernity, that critical ideas of it must have a particular point of origin - a “creator” of said idea. I posit the _unvoiced_ sense of alienation emerges subjectively - and so drive communal belonging, so that it can be voiced (become rational) through dialogue. Some will embrace said dialogue internally, dialectically. They may indeed be _seen_ as originators, but to me they are (were) able to rationalise what would otherwise be culturally irrational. Even scientists used to describe this transcendence, as did several pre-modern thinkers. Alas, modernity doesn’t teach how it transcends into being “real”. No “era” can, as it then becomes what it is not - revealing origins of shared distress. I can’t predict anything, but I’m also unable to project ‘modernity’ into our future. Then again, like “the underground man” any future doesn’t emerge from my reduced self, a pretty “classical” nihilistic dissociation. Hope? Yes - if/when nihilism overcomes our nonsensical _community of individualists,_ modernity may pass, past its “post-modern” feedback loop. Whatever some later generations will name it…😊

[@marmotdude]

This is series is cool and I'd love to see More of it! but first love more of zizek the authentic master and maybe some more on anarchism on KZbin you see ridiculous videos like every type of anarchism explained in 12 minutes and they throw around terms like anarcho transhumanism anarcho primitivist anarcho syndicalism anarcho queer theorist etc. I'd love to see more depth on the difference between anarchist thoughts and how much is real difference and how much is just making ridiculous terms for views

[@pedroblandim3926]

👏👏👏

[@crochaethebrand]

57 seconds in and I’m like, no! Why?

[@myself2noone]

Well the awnser to "where else do these ideas come form?" Is evolutionary possess. Both within the biology, but also within the culture. The gene within us that makes us think "but what of my siblings" is a very selfish gene. Because it influnced us to care about the copies of itself that exist in those siblings. Nobody is doing the rational calculation in there head like this, but this is how they tend behave. Other emotions too have there utility, shame and guilt for social cohesion. Anger and outrage when others transgresss against us. Ect...
