| Abstract: | Dostoevsky's short novel Notes from Underground has been regarded as the earliest fiction work exploring existential themes. Originally conceived as a critique of the then-popular theories of liberal socialism and utilitarianism, the novella uses the unique narrative voice of a profoundly disgruntled misanthrope to rant against the scientific and utopian belief that man is essentially a rational being. The Underground Man highlights the rational and utopian systems' failure to account for human beings' fundamental irrationality and self-destructive nature. He champions asserting individuality and free will at all costs, even if it goes against reason and self-interest. Dostoevsky's novella explores various existential themes through the persona of the Underground Man and his perennial struggle to make sense of and to belong in an increasingly meaningless universe. |
