The main object Dostoevsky pays attention to is the real nature of man, seen in the perspective of God.

Therefore, man does not know himself, he is confused; he cannot detect fundamental values, and find for them the right hierarchy. One of the fundamental oppositions in Dostoevsky’s theology concerns the “law of personality” and the “law of personality on Earth” (the existence of personality within the boundaries of the “I”). Depending on which of those two laws lays at the basis of his existence, man will reach opposite destinations through opposite methods, opposite values, and life goals. However, we should not think of the “law of personality on Earth” as something vain and useless, as an erroneous and superfluous condition. The “I” with its severe boundaries is the only place where a “personality in the highest state of its development”, refusing this “I”, can ripen and reach the highest state of its development.Tatyana A.
