The Harder You Try, The Worse It Gets - The Philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky

Who’s here for the comments!😂

that's like saying stop putting in the effort 😂

You stop trying to be me

Good shit.

👍👍

I have to disagree when you claim that Dostoyevsky would agree that “Christianity and Idealism left us to fail.” It’s clear that, with his general theme of inevitable redemption and acceptance of conscience, that Dostoyevsky believe that the Christian faith is the only thing to save us now. He constantly writes about the Church and Christ’s sacrifice on the cross in order for our salvation. In Brothers Karamozov, Alyosha and Ivan’s discussion about the Grand Inquistor can be used as evidence that the church is set up to fail; however that is a twisted view of Ivan’s incredible poema. As Ivan finishes telling his poema to his brother, he is left asking “are you going to disown me because of it?”(referencing his idea that “all things are lawful) Alyosha responds to his question by simply saying nothing and, Like Christ in Ivan’s poema, simply kisses his brother on the lips, showing his unconditional love for his brother. It’s Dostoyevsky’s belief that, although we may reject Christ as a society and act sinful, our rationality can never explain God’s unconditional love for us. Dostoyevsky’s inclusion of redemption in his novels points out his main theory of Christianity and society as a whole: no matter what reason brings us to, we can always be redeemed through Christ.

Keep on trying, like David the robot of AI movie! Follow the Blue Berry find her and sit infront of her asking the impossible, in 3000 years maybe a superior intelligence finds your DNA and Bingo! Look what a resilent being! A proof of the greatest insanity that humans made! Keep on trying! 🙄🤥😁

Struggle is definitely important, but I don't believe in finalized statements like we can never be truly happy without sabotage. Dostoevsky was right when he's saying we don't know ourselves. THAT is precisely what makes us UNHAPPY. Rejecting certain parts of ourselves and embracing at times perhaps the lesser qualities. I think the path to stable bliss is letting go of control for the most part and DOING what FEELS, right. Regardless of our fears or others judgements. That's THE WAY.

Should I read Dostoevsky in Russian or English?

Dostojewski was a Pole

bro was emo

How about adding a spoiler alert for those that want to experience “Crime and Punishment”?

If Only we Listened to Buddha's 1st tenet.

I don't think Dostoevsky is saying "Christianity sets us up to fail." If that was the case we would have rejected his religion; which he never did...

Nu i ai citit cartile!....si ai citat din romanul" Amintiri din casa mortilor", nicidecum din " Idiotul", roman in care sunt descrise ultimile clipe din viata lui....inainte de a i dezbate "filozofia lui despre viata, incearca sa il citesti,formeaza ti o parere,opinie personala....si invata sa pronunti corect numele autorului si al personajelor sale....good luck!

Everyone always describes Russian literature as showing you truths about how to live. My take away has always been first and foremost “living in Russia really sucks”. Like wow living in Russia no matter the time period always sucks.

This was boring and didn’t have nothing to do with the tittle

What's the music you used in this video??

Фиедор Достоевский

I did try hard very hard once and that was too hard and it killed me many times

As an adhd patient, i find the thought of trying hard very hard. I cant. Ugh.

For once less try the more plate fills up

What music is used at the start of "Redemption"

Fyodor Dostoevsky deserves a biopic!!! 🎥👏🏻

yoda's famous words

I love how the title of the video has nothing to do with what is explained about dostoïevski's philosophy

This is so piercing and deep.

Waw

There is no right way, there's only your way

absolute banger animation

Thanks for this piece of information man.

when i gave up on trying to be attractive, i became attractive, more so than i ever imagined

Lmfao this comment section feels like a quote page

Damn, this guy is solid

I love how people forget that Dostoevsky was an Orthodox Christian, and think he criticized Christianity as a whole. He wasn't. He was criticizing Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. He doesn't think that "Christianty sets us up to fail", not by a long shot. He is not against the idea of God or faith, just the ideas of God and faith that exist in the west, that false dichotomy of Protestant vs Catholic.

Like always, people will gladly make things suit their own worldview.

For anyone wondering Orthodox Christianity is as, if not more, differnt from Protestantism and Roman Catholicism as they are from each other.

You say that Dostoevsky promoted the idea that Christianity failed us, was Dostoevsky not a devout Christian his whole life. And judging by the brothers Karamazov I think its quite clear he holds christianity in high regard to say the least.

I like how you remove faces

It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.

-Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dude fyodor is too much for this world
I haven’t even read c&p yet but every quote of his I ever come across shakes me so deeply and adds a new dimension to it

Whats the mater you don't like some other truth's

Switched off after 2 mins because of the depressing music.

Norm liked Dostoevsky

Russians… always backwards

I've been studying his works since 1990. I reread them often. Each time I think I learn something new. Then I realize I need another 30 years. This cat has been in my head that long. Genius.

You taught me about Dostoyevsky better than my school in Russia

"just do it"

- Dostoevsky
