I am a 19 year boy from north east part of india. the first book that i ever read was mans search for meaning years ago, i read it because of jorden peterson emphasis on importance of reading . since then ive contuned reading books, currently reading crime and punishment..thank you jp
Keep it up mate. You are lucky, or smart, to discover the joy of reading when you are so young. I didn't find out until I was nearly thirty (I cared for nothing but mathematics at school) I have spent the last twenty years trying to catch up.
Reminds me of that Japanese adage about being prepared when confronted with adversity: “It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”
@@julesbrunton1728 Being a warrior doesn't mean anything bad. It all depends of your spirit and with the right spirit, a warrior is just a well prepared and tougher(in the mind) human being.
The Brothers Karamazov has been one of the most incredible books I have ever read in terms of delving through the inner psychologies of various characters that have starkly different viewpoints on life and self. I wrote my psychology degree capstone paper on Dostoevsky's work. In doing so I researched his life thoroughly. He has an incredible story, and I would highly recommend that anyone with an interest in his work also look into his actual life. I also posited in that paper that perhaps his wife helped him to do more than simply transcribe his works. I think that she may have played a critical role in helping him to explore the female psychology in his writing.
Also just finished the Brothers Karamazov (like many people in the comments). The main thing I took away from that is how Ivan, who claims to be the atheist materialist, realizes that although he did not physically murder his father, he did commit the murder in his heart, since he wanted his father dead. I can’t help but think about this same concept that Jesus talks about: “if you hate your neighbor, you have committed murder”. I’m sure Dostoyevsky had this in mind when he put together the plot.
I have a very hard time feeling dangerous anymore, i feel harmless. That doesnt stop people from apparently being intimidated enough by me to consider me a danger in some way, and behave thusly. But when i try to feel like i am a force to be reconned with, it leads me to feeling vengeful and i am just not a vengeful person. I couldnt ever do the things that i used to know i was capable of because i am not the kind of person that they are. I at least used to feel it, and know i had cards i was holding onto. Now i find it more important to be as far from the way those people are as possible. I dont want to think any way like they do.
I went insane after Crime and Punishment Then 10 years later this book that seared into my bones came back to me when I needed it most Saved my life I owe everything I have to that book
Thinking is adopting the opposite position from your suppositions and making that argument as strong as you can make it. Then, you pit your perspective against that "iron man," not the "straw man," and battle it out.
@@jspright5226 Of course. The protagonist Alyosha, and his mentor figure Father Zossima, taught me to forgive others and to cherish the forgiveness of Christ. In many ways, Dostoyevsky sees clearly deep down into the human psyche and soul, he understands every human dynamic. He shows you yourself and then the way out of yourself, so to say. He makes redemption clear and you can see the path to it if you have the eyes to see.
I finished watching Schindler’s List last night. What JP said about being capable of cruelty parallels with what Schindler’s definition of true power was, when he spoke to Amon.
I read notes from the underground, and it didn't "messed" with me, maybe im dumb, but, I didn't got provoked by it. I kept reading it becase his writing is so fluid.
I think you need to live through that. The way that narrator views the world, the way he treated people, the way he deconstruct everything in his head was the exact for me. I ve been in some rough times myself, i dropped out from uni, lived alone in isolation about a 1,5 year. So the loneliness nihilism and existentialism really messes up with your head
I read so much of Dostoyevsky in high school that I went into a deep depression that I couldn’t get out of for years. Before that, the last book that made me so depressed was the Bible
When I read the Bible entire from cover to cover the first time I was only 9 years old. It was the first time I read so much about homosexuality, incest, lust, greed, jealousy, rage, revenge… I couldn’t comprehend why the world is so cruel and evil. I was only 9.

Pre and post-murder Raskolnikow are by far not that different as it's portrayed in the video. Raskolnikow acted against a secular law and to this law only he submits. In a moral sense he did not regret anything, did not feel any remorse throughout the entire course of the story. While refering to his Genealogy Of Morals, Nietzsche once said: _..the psychology of conscience.. is not, as you may believe, the voice of God in man; it is the instinct of cruelty, which turns inwards once it is unable to discharge itself outwardly._ A murder is an outward action. Dostojewski shared four years one bedroom with murderers in a Sibirian prison camp. Discribing his experience in the House of the Dead he said: _… during many years I never remarked the least sign of repentance, not even the slightest uneasiness with regard to the crime committed._ Raskolnikow never lost his self-respect. Here are his words in the epilogue of Crime and Punishment: _Oh, sceptics and halfpenny philosophers, why do you halt half-way! Why does my action strike them as so horrible?_ he said to himself. _Is it because it was a crime? What is meant by crime? My conscience is at rest. Of course, it was a legal crime, of course, the letter of the law was broken and blood was shed. Well, punish me for the letter of the law... and that's enough. Of course, in that case many of the benefactors of mankind who snatched power for themselves instead of inheriting it ought to have been punished at their first steps. But those men succeeded and so they were right, and I didn't, and so I had no right to have taken that step._
The general attitude that Dr. Peterson promotes toward literature is brilliant, and this attitude that just because something isn’t factually or historically true doesn’t mean it isn’t true at another level is exactly right. It’s the best way to understand the Bible, particularly the Hebrew Bible, and it’s undeniably true for stories like “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Chicken Little”, and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” (who’s a goddamn attention-seeking narcissist). However, I find another attitude that is often put onto these works of classical literature to be off putting and dishonest, and that is to treat literature and fiction as if no innovations have been made since these Russian novelists. It reminded me of apologists who don’t want you to think new and different things so they pretend that antiquated and inaccurate translations like the King James Version are the best translation, even though it’s so inaccurate that I’d call it a MISStranslation. This attitude toward Dostoevsky gives approval seekers something to focus on to virtue signal their agreement and acceptability, like broad tefillin for those who keep commandments to be seen by others, and it’s just an excuse for them to fail at modern storytelling, to make believe that it’s everyone else’s fault that they suck, but hey at least when it doesn’t succeed you can blame other people for just not being smart enough or clever enough, amiright? It can’t be emphasized enough: Internal pontificating isn’t a story, and it sure as hell isn’t storytelling. Beyond being lazy and derivative, it’s an informal essay, and an informal essay isn’t a story, just like the essay about what you did during the summer at the beginning of the school year is so guaranteed to lack structure that it’s not anything remotely resembling an essay. The “winning argument” scenario Dr. Peterson focuses on can be better demonstrated through the work of Derren Brown in his Netflix special “The Push”, and it was an experiment conducted using real people, not just an author's assumptions about human nature being projected onto a fictional character. These were carefully selected people, REAL people who were under the impression that everything they were experiencing was real and not some “Truman Show” seeking to capture the moment they choose to kill. In Derren Brown’s “The Push”, 3 out of 4 people choose to “push” and to kill, and guess what? “Belief in God” was NOT A FACTOR in any capacity whatsoever in the moral conscience of the one who refused to push, and “Belief in God” played NO ROLE WHATSOEVER in determining whether someone refused to kill. Indeed, “Belief is God” does NOT prevent people killing, and “Belief in God” does not produce a moral conscience which prevents a person from committing murder, just looks the amount of people murdered while the faithful believers shout “Allahu Akhbar!” or how most criminals and murderers in America’s criminal system are professing Christians or who were raised Christian (and if their behavior can be divorced from their belief in God, then so too can an Atheist’s positive moral virtues be divorced from any kind of dependency on Christianity, for those who understand how that could relate to the things Dr. Peterson teaches) The attitude that Dostoevsky into Raskolnikov is still just NOTHING MORE THAN a reflection of what the author wanted to be true, not a reflection of what is true. Dostoevsky’s fictional scenario is no more reality than a magic show where everything you see is being propped up by those who wish you lead you to believe a certain thing about what you’re about to witness. At the end of the day, Dostoevsky’s so-called moral contribution was easily disproved, dismantled, and invalidated by Derren Brown, illusionist, hypnotist, atheist.

Thanks for honoring freedom of speech. Dostoevsky believed in "God's Providence." I prefer Mark Twain’s idea that if a god existed it certainly did not deserve any respect ... or to be worshiped. GOD … a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell--mouths mercy, and invented hell--mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to worship him! -No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger Mark Twain
Peterson knows when it’s ok for him to be a great and righteous moralist and when to keep his mouth shut. He is an approved operative for the edification of the masses.
No need to; Watched *Ergo proxy* (an complex anime of Good Philosophy & Moral of Pscyhology) its not a *TV-Show/Serie* for - Everyone. Have a (somewhat) similar Generation of Family dynamic as well of *Dostoevsky* Humans aren't Guilt free or Perfect. And your a fool for thinking other wise.
No hay nada moral en ser ético porque no tenes la capacidad de hacer daño. La virtud esta en tener la capacidad de hacer daño y aun así elegir hacer el bien
As with every literature recommendation, don't put too much faith in this one. I have been discussing books with a friend of mine for years, and while he often deciphers some deeper messages in them, and correctly so, this stuff mostly fails to register with me. In the end, books have to match your ability as a reader, otherwise you'll just torture yourself for nothing. From my attempt at reading "Crime and punishment", I know I will never try reading Dostojewski again.
Try the audio books for an initial listen and if you really find yourself enjoying it go back and buy a physical copy. I did this with brothers karamazov and crime and punishment. I thought the idiot was a dull read and was happy to never touch it again 😅
@adam.maqavoy it is not really better. It is a more contemporary and detailed exploration of the nature of evil and misery, but Dosoevsky is far greater at crafting plot and character.
Dostoievsky is extremely boring and cartoonish. There is nothing 'moral' about his books that will really make your old bean work, unless you are a wannabe psychopath. You want psychology and good literature? Go with Conrad instead.
@@gordonweintraub6634Peterson is making a caricature out of the left, on say trans movement, dei agenda, political correctness, etc. On trans movement, Peterson has reduced it to being arisen from selfishness and dereliction of responsibility. But there is legitimate underlying cause for people to be this way. If they are not offered an alternative, they would continue down their path. On pc culture and dei, Peterson has reduced it to being a product of Marxist utopian ideals and cowardliness. There may be a streak of what he purports, but are more raw momentum and drivers at play, for example there is a disparity between identity groups which people are becoming increasingly aware with social media, this creates divide and friction, which are relieved with these agendas and policies albeit they are stopgap measures. If you were to rip off this band aid without a better solution, what takes over in its place is likely to be much worse and dangerous. Peterson has come to reduce many social problems to simple forms giving in to confirmation bias, namely, making strawmans. Peterson once famously said something like you shouldn’t aim to only win in a quarrel with a family member, because then everybody loses. He’s not following his own advice right now.

There may be a streak of what he purports, but are more raw momentum and drivers at play, for example there is a disparity between identity groups which people are becoming increasingly aware with social media, this creates divide and friction, which are relieved with these agendas and policies albeit they are stopgap measures. If you were to rip off this band aid without a better solution, what takes over in its place is likely to be much worse and dangerous.
Peterson has come to reduce many social problems to simple forms giving in to confirmation bias, namely, making strawmans.
