The schillerianism of Dmitri Karamazov: the problem of aesthetic education in The Brothers Karamazov
Abstract
This article proposes a comparative analysis between The Brothers Karamazov and Schiller's philosophical work, focusing on the character Dmitri Karamazov. The introduction highlights how Dostoevsky appropriates Schiller through a Christianized and Russified interpretation of his philosophy, explaining the affinities and similarities between the two authors. The first section investigates how Dmitri embodies the immature aesthetic type, already theorized by Schiller. The second section, divided into two subsections, explores Dmitri's aesthetic and moral formation in light of Schiller's categories of love and the sublime. The study culminates in the interpretation of Dmitri as a tragic hero, according to the aesthetic categorization proposed by Schiller.
