A MORTE COMO DIÁLOGO:

ENTRE KIERKEGAARD E DOSTOIÉVSKI

Abstract

Fiódor Dostoiévski, a prominent romancist in Russian literature, was always marked by the complexity of the terms and ways in which his plots were developed, indicating, in many of them, a need for excavation and structuring of an analysis of individualities and nature of each of his characters, so much so that for a long time, some critics read him as a philosophy author, which, however, does not happen. Recognizing the different natural that his work has from the text philosophical, we intend, here, to strengthen a clear and direct relationship between the literary text and the philosophical text, breaking the limits of subordination and/or inferiority between the areas, which allows for a broad dialogue between works and distinct concepts. To do this, I will take Soren Kierkegaard's work as a starting point, using it as a hermeneutic key for reading the literary text in dissecting the concept of death, both through Kierkegaard's analysis of it, based on the assumptions of the Christian narrative, and, also, of the different reverberations found in Dostoevsky's text, specifically, in his last book, The Brothers Karamazov, indicating the proximity and dialogues that two authors of such vast works can enable.
