The following article is about the Russian philosopher N. Chernyshevsky. To be precise, our interest is to comprehend to what extent it is fair that one considers only the rationalistic and deterministic characteristics of his work – something one has come to expect when the reading is in the light of the most acclaimed interpretations, as Dostoevsky’s. In this respect, the article followed a particular path to make the idea more understandable by: (i) exposing Chernyshevsky’s ethical theory in “The Anthropological Principle in Philosophy”; (ii) discussing how this theory build the characters of the novel What is to be done?; (iii) and analyzing one of the characters in particular: Rakhmetov.
