we're just normal men. We're just innocent men!
In parts 3 and 4 of Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 Crime and Punishment we get a lot more meat on Raskolnikov's 'extraordinary man' thesis.
How does it overlap with the concept of the Übermensch in Nietzsche and Hegel? Are we too deeply steeped in Christian morality to become 'extraordinary' without destroying ourselves?
We reconsider Raskolnikov, Svidrigailov, and Luzhin through this lens.
Plus: cam's obligatory sibling inc*st fantasies, rich tries to give dostoyevsky writing advice, etc
