Dostoevsky's Philosophy

Dostoevsky's Philosophy

Dostoevsky is as much a philosopher as he is a novelist. But unlike a philosopher, his arguments are developed between the conflicting points of view of his characters.

In this book, you’ll find twelve of Dostoevsky’s most fundamental themes, each containing two powerful quotations and two competing passages from different characters across his major works. The “challenge” presents a provocative point of view, and the “response” counters it with an alternate perspective. 

Punctuated with 12 bold illustrations, this giftable pocket edition serves as both an introduction and an invitation to one of our most passionate, brilliant, and deeply human authors.

About Us

Obvious State is a creative studio and independent press founded by Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011. We make bold, original art and books inspired by the ideas and language that have shaped how we think.

In the age of mindless scrolling and digital overstimulation, slow thought has become a luxury. Our work exists to change that. Every piece is illustrated by Evan — art and language that provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and make the ideas that have always mattered feel relevant again.

Our books and prints are available in our shop and in bookstores and boutiques nationwide.

Our work has been featured at The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Writers Museum, The Emily Dickinson Museum, The Library of Congress, The Getty Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art and more.
