In fact Dostoevsky is a great writer, and he is indeed one of the few who remain immortal against the sands of time. He is from some perspective the greatest writer. I have not read much but one novel and a story written by him, one is Crime and punishment and the other is the dream of a ridiculous man. The second one I read recently. He could present the extent of human predicament, humiliation, frustration and amidst all of these frivolities a ray of hope and man still can dream and live on and on.Originally Posted by wagnernn
That is why perhaps Sartre was highly indebted to him
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
And why Nietzsche agreed with Dostoevsky so much (Dostoevsky works deal with religion)?
Nietszche was delighted with novel The Possessed. In that novel, Dostoevsky was giving his thoughts about existentialism and nihilism, and questions about God.

The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

It's not easy summarizing his viewpoints,since Dostoevsky wasn't a proponent of a single idea or philosophy.Indeed,there are way too many perspectives from which you can read his novels to synthesize them into a single idea.
For instance,when I read The Brothers Karamazov I could find both the elements of Christian apologetics and pure atheism - it really depends on the way you read and analyze the book.
