PSYCHOLOGISM IN THE WORKS OF DOSTOEVSKY AND ITS RELEVANCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

This article analyzes psychologism in the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky and its relevance in the 21st century through the lens of human soul exploration. It focuses on artistic expressions of the individual's inner world, including moral doubts, guilt, fear of freedom, and spiritual crisis. The study demonstrates that Dostoevsky deeply penetrated the contradictions of the human soul, revealing its capacity for suffering, compassion, and moral rebirth. His work remains relevant in the 21st century because it helps us understand the inner conflicts of modern humans and the paths to spiritually overcoming personal crises. The literature review and the main body of the article reference the works of a number of scholars. The "Analysis and Results" section examines the psychologism of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novels "Crime and Punishment" and "The Insulted and the Humiliated." The final section presents the conclusions drawn from the analysis. The bibliography includes four sources.
