Dostoevsky’s Dialectics Of Darkness And Light

Dostoevsky’s dialectics of darkness and light is itself a dialectic of the transformation of the mind and spirit.This transformation is not objective,not a physical transformation,but it takes place in the deepest part of human existence.The human issue occupies a central position in Dostoevsky’s creation.Regarding human nature and essence,what Dostoevsky completely acknowledged is not the single nature of human beings that are either dark or light,but that human beings always wander between darkness and light in their nature and essence,wandering at the extremes of demon and divinity.No matter how the characters in Dostoyevsky’s works do evil,go to their doom,and deny God,the purpose is to solve man’s puzzles and explore man’s path to light.The thesis is divided into three parts: introduction,body paragraphs and conclusion.The introduction part reviews and sorts out Dostoevsky’s current research status,and puts forward the origin of the topic and the goal he wants to achieve.The main body is divided into four chapters in the structure of “total-variational”.The first chapter is the introduction,it mainly defines the “human nature and essence” by the discussion of the backlight meaning of human nature and the light-tending meaning of the essence,which leads to the origin of Dostoevsky’s dialectical conversion of darkness and light.The remaining three chapters combine the specific texts of Crime and Punishment,The Idiot and The Brother Karamazov to point to different aspects of Dostoevsky’s dialectical transformation of darkness and light: from the dark of evil to the light of good,from the perishing darkness tends to the new light,and from the shaded darkness to the true light.Crime and Punishment attempts to dialectically transform between the “darkness of evil-the light of good”,which mainly involves three aspects: the inertia of darkness leads to human sin and depravity,the importance of turning from the darkness of evil to the light of good,the path to the light of absolute good;The Idiot contemplates the dialectical conversion between “destroyed darkness and newborn light”,which mainly involves three aspects: Dark inertia continues to incarnate the existence of death threats,the ideals and conflicts of “beauty saves the world”,the difficulty of man’s recovery from the perishing darkness to the light;The Brothers Karamazov chooses to dialectically switch in the“shaded darkness-the true light”,which mainly involves three issues:the continuation of “the salvation of beauty” and the wandering and turbulence of personal well-dong,revelation of the meaning of light to human life and the confirmation of God’s love,towards the light of divinity may be one of the directions of human destiny.The conclusion part summarizes Dostoevsky’s thoughts.Dostoyevsky’s dialectics of darkness and light is based on the nature and essence of human beings,and his efforts to develop a light experience of human existence.He proposed the three paths of dialectical conversion between darkness and light,which actually correspond to religious,philosophical and aesthetic approaches.In good and evil,destruction and rebirth,concealment and restoration,Dostoevsky still faces the unsolved puzzles of man,but it is undeniable that his dialectical thinking has a positive rather than a negative tendency.In his later years,he still believes that people ultimately discover their own destiny and the meaning of existence in the hope that the light will eventually win.
