- Lessons from 'Notes from Underground' by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Dostoevsky is one of the greatest writers. His works include 'Brothers Karamazov' and 'Crime and Punishment'.
'Notes from Underground' is considered the first work of existential literature. The Underground Man rejects rationalism and utilitarianism because it deprives humans of free will and dignity. He is self-loathing, intelligent and vengeful. He considers himself an anti-hero who doesn't care about anyone or anything and would rather watch the world burn so long as he can drink his tea.

I'm 45, to hear thoughts put into words is beautiful, thank you
Wow, thank you
Definitely worth showcasing!
Thank you so much. Really enjoyed this episode and your commentary.
I try and be open and courageous; but considering the underground man and his commentary, it is obvious that blind spots are everywhere.
That means a lot, glad you enjoyed the episode! And btw you being open and courageous makes you a better man than if you didn't try
its notes from underground not “the” underground. thats because its a perspective, not a place.
Its both actually.
