Descripción
Sumario:This paper addresses the problem of guilt in Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, specifically in the analysis of the behavior of the protagonist, Rodion Raskolnikov, who, despite having committed an apparently perfect crime, feels the impulse to confess his crime. In the context of this analysis, Dostoevsky's position, with chrisoots, will be compared with Nietzsche's theory of guilt, which is presented in the second part of the Genealogy of Morals. The paper will conclude with a reflection on the relationship established by both authors between guilt and truth.
