Dear Professors and Seelangs Members,
I am currently working on the topic of Dostoevsky and his refuting of
Utopianism, specifically the Chernyshevskyian concept of utopia. I would
like to say that Dostoevsky, through his arguments against utopia showed
that a construct such as a socialist state like the USSR would be
intrinsically flawed.
I am having difficulty locating secondary texts to support this idea, can
you suggest any places to look? Currently I am working off of Joseph Frank's
essay found in Notes from Underground (Norton Critical Edition). Thank you!
Sincerely,
Chris Ryan
