Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment

In "crime and punishment", Raskolnikov built up the theory: everyone is divided into "normal" and "abnormal". This special person should have the right to destroy a few people to inform everyone of his thoughts; however, ordinary people do not have the right to violate the law. He believes himself abnormal as he believes this theory is an idea that must be known to all mankind; however, there are many incidents proving that Rascolnikov is not special.

According to Raskornikov's theory of "crime and punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky, there are two kinds of people coexisting in the world: "extraordinary" and "ordinary". Ordinary people can define (248) that "men must live obediently and they are normal and there is no right to violate the law because they are normal." On the other hand, "special" people are "those who have the right to commit any crime and violate the law just because they are extraordinary" (248). The theory of Dostoyevsky is reflected in the character of his novel.

Rodion Romanović Raskolnikov, the leading role of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "crime and punishment", believes that there are two types of people in the world. And extraordinary people. This philosophy is the foundation of Rascolnikov's life. All his decisions are based on this belief, for example, he decided to kill pawn shops, Alyona Ivanovna. Raskolnikov believes that his moment in the novel is beyond the law. He regarded himself as an unusual person at the beginning of the book, but in the end he thought he was just an ordinary person. Laskolnikov's idea is similar in some respects to Dostoevsky, but in other respects it is similar. However, as many philosophers have developed a similar theory, the theories of ordinary people and extraordinary people are not new theories.

The mathematical evaluation of Raskolnikov's moral dilemma proposed in Dostoevsky's "Sin and Punishment" reflects utilitarianism of utilitarianism. Utilitarian attempts to distinguish between good and evil by measuring decisions based on calculated values. Raskolnikov seemed to adopt the fundamental principle of utilitarian and combined the negative impact of killing his old landlord with free rent and caught audience. The city provides rent and the doctor provides nursing care, but all benefits. Utilitarian utilitarianism is the view that morally correct behavior is the act of creating the best social utility under the present circumstances. Behavior Utilitarianism only takes into account the outcome or result of a single act. In contrast, rule Utilitarianism defines the highest moral position of society as the highest moral norm.
