Аbstract:

In this paper, we would like to turn to the experience of studying the role that the work of F. M. Dostoevsky played in the intellectual evolution of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951). At the same time, along with a general overview of those prints of the books of the Russian writer that have been preserved in the picture of the thinker’s life path, it is important for us to present the experience of interpreting the story Notes from Underground, which the philosopher undertook in an oral conversation shortly before his death.

  • Keywords: Wittgenstein, Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, psychology, epistemology, “a man without properties”.
