About one ethic-philosophic premise to the problem of man in Dostojevsky's late works

This article deals with one of Dostojevsky's historical and philosophical views, some of his anthropological problems. He identifies the problem of man with the collision of two phenomena of the same strength and development. Here the writer includes his natural scientific conclusions of anthropology, which in the 18th–19th centuries seemed to be social. This struggle of Dostojevsky with materialist and natural-scientific knowledge in the anthropological sphere of his philosophy of man is his first step in one of the most essential and general discussions, which he conducts in a rationalist approach to man as a whole. In the process of this discussion, one can point out Dostojevsky's philosophical and artistic views on man.
