text: In working out Aristotle’s view, it may help to keep in mind some of its rivals. We have a rich cultural gallery of competing candidates for the titles bad, vicious, evil, worst. There is the pursuer of disvalue as such, like Hannibal Lecter or Milton’s Satan; the wanton or brutish slave to low desires; the Dostoevskeian outlaw, committer of some unforgiveable crime; and the amoral egoist or sociopath who greets all moral considerations with a shrug.

Dostoevskean
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Forms: form: more Dostoevskean
form: most Dostoevskean
Senses: examples: text: This reference to Christ is typical of Dostoevski; he was, in the most reverent sense of the term, “Christ-intoxicated.” His mind was shaped largely by a single book, the New Testament, and from it he drew his major literary themes and his deepest personal convictions. As a result, the Dostoevskean universe is at once more real and less real than the world which witnesses the daily struggle for “advantage” by both men and nations.

Senses: examples: text: Thus one may say of a Dostoevskan character that he finds a continuously intimate connection between proper conduct and true virtue – or, more frequently, improper conduct and true vice.
ref: 1960, The Carleton Miscellany, page 30:
text: Initially, he flirts with the cryptic: in the early sixties he claims the existence of “a great and eternal living truth, at once illuminating everything,” which comes forth from “the very center” of those seemingly insignificant Dostoevskan protagonists after whom Joseph (Dangling Man) is fashioned (“Facts” 28).
ref: 1987, Studies in American Jewish Literature, page 109:
text: First, I got the fever – an actual fever, a sickness that almost certainly clouded my judgement for at least seventy-two hours. And it was perhaps heightened by the Dostoevskan fever that grips the soul of the punter when he is forging ahead – ‘gamblers know how a man can sit in the same place for nearly twenty-four hours, playing cards and never turning his eyes to the right or the left…’ that great Russian punter wrote.

Part of speech: adj
Forms: form: more Dostoyevskan

ref: 1942, Modern Music: A Quarterly Review, page 124, column 2:
text: At the same time, inside the Soviet Union the “anti-Zionist” campaigns since the Six Day War have created conditions allowing not only the publication of Kychko’s Judaism and Zionism, the principal theme of which is that the Jews are aiming to dominate the world, but of the two obscene novels by Ivan Shevtsov, one of the leaders of the Pochva movement, who see Russia’s future in a kind of Dostoyevskan rejection of Western values and return to Russian blood and soil.
ref: 1974, The Jewish Quarterly, page 19, column 2:
text: Altman, a self-confessed recovered gambler, tracks Elliott Gould and George Segal into a world of obsessive gambling, makes us share their highs and lows, and explores the nature of their addiction in a Dostoyevskan comedy in which the big score is meaningless.

text: Judge Cabot was filled with a deep-rooted respect for the individuality of every human being. He was most scrupulous in guarding the individual rights of each child before him. This was, perhaps, one more reason why his approach was so eminently human and why he had a Dostojevskian passion for bringing out as many sides of a situation and as many traits of a personality as seemed possible.
ref: 1932, Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe, The Children’s Judge: Frederick Pickering Cabot, Houghton Mifflin Company, page 95:
text: When there is no God, or when God has no power, man takes on the role of God, and the evil will of man creates war. This is a Dostojevskian thought and the reproach against the sleeping God has the same intensity as Ivan’s accusation against God in Brat’ja Karamazovy.

Senses: examples: text: Today its Dostoievskian perspective, for a variety of reasons, is altogether lacking; it is now a quality exposing its truest expression at picnics, the theatre, and conventions of political parties; that is to say, it is no longer serious excepting as defining the appreciation of an esthetic spectacle.

The interpretative Dostoievskian texts became more and more professional, being approached with more subtle and profound themes, and the translations were increasingly better.

Senses: examples: text: Tolstoyan gloom, Dostoievskan horror, and general Russian hopelessness are the natural outcome of the over-intellectualized misery and morbidity of nineteenth-century Russians, but to import this joyless atmosphere into English literature is a tragic affection.

text: Garnett’s monologism is corrected in the translation by R. Pevear and L Volokhonsky (1990), which initiates a second phase in the history of Dostoievskan translation (see France in France 2000, 595–6; Burnett in Classe 2000, 365–71), rather overstatedly linked by Burnett to a reconceptualisation of what language and literature are.

text: In the Esmé story, for instance, Salinger’s surest masterpiece, the brilliant manipulation of a familiar crisis—devastated soldier finds an escape from his Dostoievskean hell through the kindness of a precocious girl—climaxes in a moment of karma that sidesteps the darker issue of the protagonist’s patent narcissistic fixation.

ref: 1948, D. B. Wyndham Lewis, Four Favourites, London: Evans Brothers Limited, page 112:
text: Donald McWhinnie is unable to resolve these basic difficulties, but with Eric Porter and Irene Worth, excellently backed by the Banquo of Peter Jeffrey, absolutely straight and honest himself yet quickly alert to Macbeth’s deviousness, he gave the audience an enthralling sojourn in the macabre world—at times almost Dostoievskeian—of human greed, fear, crime, remorse and punishment.
