Socrates, Meursault, and The Brothers Karamazov: The Court Trial as a Philosophical Medium The aim of this study is to characterise the way that literary accounts of court trials shape the space for philosophical considerations. In the first part of the text, Marshall McLuhan’s concept of the medium is introduced and interpreted within the context of Martin Heidegger’s notion of technology. The second part of the paper, meanwhile, concerns the opposition between language and reality, which is crucial for the philosophical implications of courtroom space. This study includes also the “law and literature” perspective. The theoretical reflection is based on an analysis of The Stranger by Albert Camus, The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Plato’s The Apology. Finally, the third part deals with the literary composition of the court trial account.

AbstractThis article examines the influence of Fyodor Dostoevsky on Albert Camus's political philosophy of revolt. The aim is to clarify Camus's reactions to the problems of absurdity, nihilism, and transcendence through an analysis of his literary and philosophical engagement with Dostoevsky. I make three related claims. First, I claim that Camus's philosophy of revolt is informed in crucial ways by Dostoevsky's accounts of religious transcendence and political nihilism. Second, that Camus's conceptualization of the tension between nihilism and transcendence corresponds to and is personified by the dialogue between Ivan Karamazov and Father Zossima in Dostoevsky'sThe Brothers Karamazov. Finally, that Camus uses his novelThe Plagueto bridge the moral and metaphysical divide between these two characters. In particular, I argue that Camus offers a distinct vision of revolt inThe Plague, which clarifies both the practical implications of revolt and his philosophical rejoinder to Dostoevsky.

This paper introduces a theoretical reflection about the problem of health financing from the perspective of Hésio Cordeiro, one of the most important sanitarians of the 1980s in Brazil, and how this author was influenced by the work of Claudio Napoleoni. For this purpose, the essay was used as textual unit and content analysis was incorporated as methodology. The content is structured in three parts. The first describes a brief intellectual and political-institutional biography of Cordeiro and Napoleoni, trying to situate both authors in their historical contexts. The second part shows how Cordeiro was inspired by Napoleoni’s work, which influenced the way Cordeiro addressed countercyclical solutions to rethink public health issues during the 1980s. The third points to a brief final consideration on the importance of Cordeiro as an intellectual who proposed progressist solutions for health back in his time.

The two figures of speech, «cлoвo c oглядкoй» [a word with a backward glance] and «cлoвo c лaзeйкoй» [a word with a loophole], can arguably be considered the apogee of Bakhtin’s creative analysis of language. This paper provides a detailed analysis of these tropes, commencing with a brief introduction to Bakhtin’s view of the utterance and parody. These short summaries are based on a close reading of Пpoблeмa peчeвыx жaнpoв [ПPЖ] and Из пpeдыcтopии poмaннoгo cлoвa [ИПpc] respectively. This introduction provides a platform for a detailed textual review of Bakhtin’s analysis of the two figures of speech in Пpoблeмы пoэтики Дocтoeвcкoгo [ППД]. The paper then explores the two figures of speech as exemplars of interdiscursivity by examining the way in which Bakhtin builds up his descriptive analysis of both «oглядкa» and «лaзeйкa», using examples from Poor Folk, The Double, Notes from Underground, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. The paper concludes that these tropes synecdochically represent Bakhtin’s constructs in a number of important domains: his philosophy of language, his philosophy of identity, as well as his literary theory.

The political thought of Fyodor Dostoevsky grows out of his opposition to nihilism, atheistic humanism, and socialism in much the same way as the philosophy of Plato grew out of his opposition to the sophists. Indeed, the parallel of Dostoevsky's thought with that of Plato is to be seen in some further aspects of this fundamental opposition. Both the Russian master of the novel and the Hellenic founder of political science confronted adversaries for whom “Man is the measure of all things” and each based his opposition on the principle “God is the Measure,” to use Plato's formulation. This declaration, echoing like a thunderclap across more than twenty centuries of history, found consummate expression in the last great work of each writer: the Laws and The Brothers Karamazov.

Abstract In Soph. 237b7–239a11 Plato lays out a sequence of arguments that are generally considered homogenous. An analysis of each argument can shed light on the need to differentiate their respective nature. Firstly, it will be shown that the arguments do not work only at the linguistic level, contrary to the way these passages are interpreted by most of commentators. The meta–linguistic nature of the third argument will be particularly emphasised. Secondly, it will be argued that the three arguments follow each other according to a crescendo. The implications of this argumentative structure will be specifically appreciated. Both these results of the analysis induce to attribute a crucial importance to the notion of medamos on: the arguments do not aim to definitively exclude the possibility of a Parmenidean non–being; they play a positive role within the inquiry of the Stranger of Elea, inasmuch the thematisation of Parmenidean non–being is seriously taken into account and embraced at this stage of the dialogue. In fact it is only through this dialectical step that the Stranger gains the chance to proceed in the direction of a relational ontology and a new concept of non–being. The positive role played by the medamos on presupposes that this expression and the equivalent ones are not mere absurdities and can find place in the Platonic use of language; this implies that the notion of medamos on must have a justification in the framework of Platonic relational ontology and conception of language. The consideration of this aspect eventually gives the opportunity to return to the three arguments and present an explanation of their positioning in that stage of the dialogue.

Throughout Dostoevsky's life, reading newspapers was one of the most important sources of his inspiration. Reading newspapers, Dostoevsky drew on real factual material that reflected both the characteristic phenomens of the postreform Russian reality and the most incredible “adventures” of lost human souls and hearts. Daily acquaintance with the latest news from Russian and world life was an essential necessity for Dostoevsky. Even while abroad, he regularly visited libraries to read the most recent Russian newspapers. Journalism was inherent in his type of thinking and personality. He began his literary career as a newspaper feuilletonist; in 1873–1874, he edited the Grazhdanin (The Citizen) weekly; in1876–1877, his monojournal A Writer's Diary was focused on Russian and European periodicals. In 1881, having completed his novel The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky decided to resume the publication of A Writer's Diary. He prepared only one issue which came out on the day of his funeral. The manuscript collection of the Vladimir Dahl State Museum of the History of Russian Literature contains Anna Dostoevskaya’s collection that includes a memorial copy of the last newspaper read by Dostoevsky on the eve of his fatal illness, the Novoe Vremya (The New Time) newspaper, No. 1764 dated January 25 (February 6) 1881. This item is a valuable biographical material and allows one to put additional touches on the picture of Dostoevsky's intellectual life of his last days. The article provides an overview of the newspaper’s contents contextualized within Dostoevsky's spiritual, political, and aesthetic interests and particularly within the articles included in the first issue of The Diary of a Writer for 1881 and the preparatory materials for it.
