Dostoevsky's Book The Idiot: amzn.to/45slKKs
Dostoevsky was a 19th-century Christian existentialist writer. In this (hyper-interpreted) video, we try to figure out what kind of life could assert that "beauty will save the world."
This video's style is largely inspired by the following channels:
@PursuitofWonder
@boyinthebadlands
The Dostoevsky Archive (1997) - Peter Sekirin
The Idiot (1869) - Fyodor Dostoevsky
Nobel Lecture in Literature (1970) - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn www.nobelprize.org/prizes/lit...
Other sources are informal.
Dostoevsky's other great books:
Demons: amzn.to/3YP9bpW
Crime and Punishment: amzn.to/47RttDl
The Brothers Karamazov: amzn.to/3PfToO4
Notes From the Underground: amzn.to/3KYZHCV

Dostoyevsky is absolutely PHENOMENAL. I am a big reader of world literature and so many authors touch heart, mind and create meaning but frankly no one touches SOUL like Mr DOSTOYEVSKY. He was a true literary genius and lived through so much suffering and happiness he describes in his novels. Crime and Punishment, Demons, the Idiot and Kalamazoo Brothers my absolute favourites.

Relatively recently I reread "Crime and Punishment" and it was amazing. It sounds incredibly fresh, like someone wrote it nowadays. And lots of topics there are still relevant, and you can sympathize with almost all the characters. Dostoevsky is phenomenal indeed.

I love that book. I only read it about a year and a half ago and it was perfect timing with everything that was going on in my life. I loved reading about his internal struggles, his defense of his sister, his compassion towards Sonya and her family, his gradually slipping mask of sanity, him staggering to the police office for his confession and his new view on life as he is in Siberia. I wish I read him in high school. I only made it through the first few chapters of Brothers Karamazov in hs and gave up. I recently finished that masterpiece a little over a year ago. I think that to understand his writings you have to had experienced suffering in a mental or social capacity resulting in loneliness, isolation and/or despair. If one denies and dismisses the pain of suffering in their life and lives superficially, it's harder to see what he is trying to tell us. Even then his psychological insight is so keen that he can show you yourself even if you don't wish to see it.

Because they keep holding on to the idea that a person should never be judge by their looks. Blessed are those who can relate this reality.

What you said about the dirt that the farmer walked upon is a lesson I learned myself. Until recently, empty bottles meant nothing to me, they were worthless. After I started brewing (for fun), I become excited whenever I get my hands on an empty bottle - after all, it can be used to store what I brew! What I learned is that a thing's value is based on how it could be used. The more life experience you have, the more valuable the world and the things in it become, which is why I highly encourage everyone to be open minded and try different things. It teaches you to view life from a different perspective.

To think that that was his last piece of literacy before he died is so beautiful but it makes you aware and realize how you don't want that to be yours before you die. You'd like to look back at your own past and think how it wasn't perfect yet you created this beauty you call your life and that you sketched, drafted, added, and erased elements off of it.

If people dont see the beauty in the world they may not get the feeling there is truly something to protect and something to live for. We could fail to save the world because too many people found it not worth saving and making an effort. A lack of beauty and lack of hope is dangerous. And beauty makes life feel meaningful and and actually worth living. Beauty is there originally in nature but humans often ruin it. Tragic life, I feel sorry for what him and his friends went through. At least he didn't completely lose sense of hope

I absolutely agree. I even think the overall sense of beauty people have on a large scale, could determine the fate of the world. Whether people truly have a sense of there is something to protect and preserve or they dont see the point. It can hugely impact what effort people make, what they value and how they act. Valuing life itself (whether were talking individual lives or species preservation, or the right for each one to have a good life and certain rights) requires seeing beauty in life. And I think people more overall content are naturally kinder (but some can still suffer a lot and yet have a lot of compassion)

Definitely a great video essay. The opening was great, it took us very quickly into the early life and years of Dostoyevsky, most people would take a couple of minutes to narrate that, but here it was done in only a minute or two; not to mention, the quotes supplemented the story, great opening. I believe it starts getting a bit tricky with who said what at about 2:00 as many characters are introduced with a very brief introduction, if lengthened it would accentuate the chronological understanding of things, unless a ring structure is desired. The ending clears the fog in the aforementioned as it repeats the names and gives far lengthy introduction of the people mentioned, it also loops finishing any unfinished topics such as the execution. One of the things that I really enjoyed was ending the video by a deep, chilling quote by the man himself. Overall, I loved the ring structure and I was very impressed by the editing. I would say if you were to give less context in the mid-video and let all the empty knowledge complete in the end it would perfect the ring structure of the video essay.

Beauty too can improve humanity as a whole due to the fact that if a beautiful person were to appear to a not so beautiful person, the person will feel inadequate and most likely will imitate that beautiful person and even surpass it and one day someone will surpass that person too and the cycle will continue until the humanity itself embodied "beauty".

Beauty means art. Art will save the world. That's what Dostoyevsky was saying.

@Zero-fh2wb 7 ай бұрын

Theres beauty found inn things that arent works of art. Like nature etc, feelings, experiences

@vaska1999 5 ай бұрын

Dostoevsky would have said art if he'd meant art. He meant something far transcending art.

Absolutely stunning material here. His profound revelation really opened up an interpretation for life that so many ignore in which they lack the ability for potential betterment of their situations and circumstances. A genius philosopher who may have seemingly suffered from certain harsh life events bestowed upon him but it did not break his spirit for its beauty is what saved him. Dostoevsky is a true gem to learn from

having loud whitenoise is more of a distraction than an aesthetic imo. Just some minor criticism I get the appeal and beauty of adding white noise but this was a bit too much imo.

We should really take his mans advice he knew suffering his friend at 9 years old was raped and killed, he lost his mother and father at ages 15 and 17 his first wife died and 2 of his children died, he like many in this world was closer to pain than he would of liked so for him to encourage those to still have beauty (faith in a better world) when he saw first hand how ugly it can be is pretty incredible and says so much about how resiliant a person with hope can be

I really feel related to Dostoevsky in the last part of the video; I may no have faced the exact same situation he had to confront, but I commited the same mistake that he's describing Guess, one of the worst things you can do to yourself is no giving value to life itself; yours and from everything around you I believe that I finally redeemed myself from that way of thinking, and surely took a long time to learn that, but it was very worth it at the end

My favourite quote of all time. I understand it deeply. There’s nothing like beauty that affects the heart deeply and for me it is the beauty of nature
