Abstract

Abstract:This paper analyzes the influence that The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky exerted on Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophical ideas. I argue that this impact was not limited exclusively to Wittgenstein's moral certainty but that it played an important role in his concept of the subject as the limit of the world, as formulated in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I attempt to show that this concept is embedded in literature, particularly in Dostoevsky, who describes liminal situations—crime, sin, guilt—in which the human being is at the edge of the world, at its boundary, as if within and at the same time outside.

维特根斯坦与陀思妥耶夫斯基:幸福与主体性

摘要:本文分析了陀思妥耶夫斯基的《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》对维特根斯坦哲学思想的影响。我认为，这种影响并不仅仅局限于维特根斯坦的道德确定性，它在他的“主体是世界的界限”的概念中也发挥了重要作用，正如他在《逻辑哲学论》中所阐述的那样。我试图表明，这个概念是嵌入在文学中，特别是陀思妥耶夫斯基，他描述了阈值的情况-犯罪，罪恶，内疚-在这种情况下，人类处于世界的边缘，在它的边界上，仿佛在里面，同时又在外面。

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
