Of course, ultimately it is a very Christian message — no one is beyond redemption, no one, however mired in sin and evil, is beyond the forgiveness of God. Notice that Raskolnikov, though he has committed such heinous crimes, receives a sentence from the tsarist court of criminal exile to Siberia for — a mere seven years. With time off for good behavior, he only has to serve four years. (This is the sentence of the so-called evil Romanov autocracy that Lenin and his Bolsheviks found it so necessary to overthrow with extreme violence only a half-century later.) Raskolnikov’s real “sentence” or imprisonment is that delivered by his conscience. Scholars still debate whether this part of the narrative is convincing or not.

@forallcurious His wife also disappeared shortly after he did by the way

@Lovandfear And Rumi said; “This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.”

When Dostoevsky said: “Isolate as much as you want to become stronger, even if you see that loneliness is an unbearable hell, it is much better than multiple masks of humans.”

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

In today's standard paper, I ask; 1. Given that a judge holds office by reason of his capacity to reason, can a judge then err in reasoning? 2. I ask whether a judge is permitted to use a particular school of jurisprudence as a fixed and determinative position 3. Does the constitution combine the various schools of legal reasoning (jurisprudence)? 4. Does the constitution have a framework for legal reasoning (a basic structure for reasoning)? Enjoy reading, and let me know your feedback.

Do you think he actually deserves redemption in the sense that the world has to give him a second chance after he serves his sentence? Or you believe that what he did cannot be undone and even though he served his sentence, his punishment continues for the rest of his days?

@athenaeumbc He compares the extra ordinary man who laws don't apply to, to great men like Napoleon, who won battles in which thousands died but they could not be said to be guilty of any crime because they were above societal laws and their "crimes" served a greater good.

Crime and Punishment isn't about a single murder, but the *idea* that can justify murdering millions. Raskolnikov famously kills a predatory pawnbroker, reasoning that she won't be missed, and he can use her money for the greater good. Strangely, however, he never uses her money. He instead buries it under a rock and forgets it. What was his true motivation then? Later on, you discover he's motivated by a much darker ideology, which he shares in an article titled "On Crime." He argues there are only 2 types of people: 1. Ordinary people: who live by the status quo and obey the law 2. Extraordinary people: who have the strength to break the law He concludes that extraordinary people SHOULD break the law to serve the greater good of humanity… The problem of this ideology is it doesn't justify just one murder, but two, or three, or three thousand, etc. Raskolnikov proves this himself: after murdering the pawnbroker, he then murders her innocent sister, solely for self-preservation. Ultimately, Dostoevsky warns that when man rejects objective morality, not only is murder justified, but moral relativism — taken at scale — can justify mass murder itself. What is brilliant about Crime and Punishment is that the greatest damage to Raskolnikov is not the legal or social consequences that eventually catch up to him. Instead, Raskolnikov's actions destroy him bit-by-bit from the inside. Where Raskolnikov thought that his own superiority would allow him to commit crimes with impunity, he finds that it is the personal cost that actually damages him. Thus Dostoevsky makes a poignant argument that morality is objective. And if we live according to our own will, and to our own ambition, disaster is lurking...

@EvaRiver4 @athenaeumbc She was? My English translation must have left that out

Remember, Raskolnikov actually murders two people: the pawnbroker but also her younger sister Elizaveta, who stumbles across him while he is committing the crime. Since she is pregnant, in the view of Dostoevsky and most of his readers when Crime and Punishment was published (since they were Russian Orthodox believers), Raskolnikov actually committed a triple murder. It’s always interesting for Dostoevsky scholars that everybody forgets the murders of Elizaveta and her unborn baby. It speaks of the sympathy most of us readers have for the anti-hero Raskolnikov, even though he is a killer.

@25YearsAgoLive @WabiRaja @UG_Airlines He will catch up😅

@WabiRaja @UG_Airlines You’re not making any sense at all flightglobal.com/strategy/2001/…

Uganda Airlines, the flag carrier airline of Uganda since 1976, ceases operations and liquidates.

Alliance Air, a Ugandan airline founded in 1995, dissolves after a final flight from London to Johannesburg, South Africa.
