Dostoevsky Studies

Dostoevsky Studies focuses on the life, works, and themes of the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, known for his profound exploration of psychology, morality, and existentialism. Scholars analyze his major novels, such as "Crime and Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov," exploring complex characters and philosophical questions about faith, free will, and the human condition. The field also examines his influence on literature, psychology, and philosophy, as well as his historical context, providing insights into 19th-century Russia and the broader implications of his ideas in contemporary discussions about ethics and society.
