>>509206424oh yeah definitely, really, he has a special gift of being able to touch your bare soul.
disregarding Petersons word salads, yeah Dostoevsky is the fucking goat. If you want to read something more political, very much the same spirit of this age, read The Possessed (aka Demons). It's about the 1860s generation of nihilists and their ideas, they being the sons and daughters of the liberal 1848 revolution generation. You will recognize any things, but the real beauty of Dostoevsky is that he had amazing insight in the human soul, he saw through people like only the divine can. And this was long before the advent of (((psychology))).
You also have to know hiw personal life to know what made him tick. His father was the director of a madhouse. When a student he became a revolutionary and joined a leftist debate club, right when the tsar was cracki!ng down on these kinds of organisations. He was sentenced tto death, led to the execution pole, and just about he was going to get shot, some guy shouted "clemency from the star" so instead they sent him to a Siberian labor camp for 11 years. This man has suffered, and his suffering was what became his muse.
