Abstract

This paper seeks to outline a script for a reading Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov marks the modern type (Cartesian, Illuminist), namely, l'homme révolté. Revolted against life itself, existence itself, since it reveals itself petty, poor, finite. Such is the metaphysical background that, from the moral-religious or theological-Christian point of view, defines the notion of guilt. This understanding (namely, revolt, ingratitude) makes up not only “Crime and Punishment”, but all of Dostoevsky's great works.
