Description
'Is the world to go to pot, or am I to go without my tea? I say that the world may go to pot for me so long as I always get my tea.? Widely regarded as a foundational work of existentialist literature and a precursor to the philosophical themes that dominated the 20th century, Dostoevsky?s Notes from the Underground is a fragmented monologue by an unnamed narrator, often referred to as the ?Underground Man?. A bitter, isolated figure disillusioned with society, he recounts his sense of alienation and his struggle with the contradictions of human nature. Written in 1864, the novella is divided into two parts. Its key theme is the conflict between rationality and free will. Dostoevsky critiques the notion that human beings are rational creatures, arguing that people often act against their own best interests simply to assert their freedom. He suggests that suffering and chaos are intrinsic to human existence, and any attempt to eliminate them is doomed to fail. Dostoevsky?s exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche and the complexity of individual choice makes this work timeless, resonating with readers who seek to understand the deeper currents of existential thought. The novella?s influence extends beyond literature, inspiring philosophers like Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus, who grappled with similar questions about existence, morality, and free will.
