Canada Duality and the Problem of Moral Self-Awareness in Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double) Lonny Roy Harrison Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto 2008 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the problem of duality as it relates to the moral situation of the protagonist of F. M. Dostoevsky's novella Dvoinik (The Double, 1846). Bearing the cultural and literary heritage as well as contemporary social realities of mid-nineteenth century Russia steadily in mind, I analyse the duality motif in Dvoinik in terms of the protagonist's self-consciousness [samosoznanie] and moral perceptions. In particular, the moral ideas that underpin his self-definitions are products of what I refer to as moral self- awareness. In the course of my analysis, I interrogate the modulations of moral reasoning in the mind of the protagonist to show how his perceptions and discourse create moral categories, which in turn motivate his contradictory self-definitions and behaviours. In view of this conflict, I argue that the protagonist's will to succeed in the civil bureaucratic order of nineteenth-century Petersburg is incompatible with his implicit need to find moral rectitude. Ego-driven motivations provide contrapuntal tensions to exacerbate his experience of inner division. At the same time, his view of himself as a moral being is obscured by mystified understandings of 'honour' and 'chivalry,' which he has adapted from popular lore and mimicry of the discursive conventions of privileged society. Where social humanism and philosophical Idealism inform the moral issues under examination, their projections through the paired lenses of ego psychology and ii myth ultimately show dual consciousness to hinge on the problem of moral self- awareness. Finally, with reference to Dostoevsky's notebook drafts, personal correspondence and literary journalism, I examine the author's plans for revision of Dvoinik in the early 1860s. I view these developments as evidence of the crystallization of Dostoevsky's idea of the 'underground type,' a term he applied to the hero of Dvoinik as prototype after recasting the role in Zapiski iz podpol'ia (Notes from Underground, 1864). In my conclusion, the protagonist of the latter work exhibits greater conscious understanding of the tensions between ego motivations and innate strivings for moral truth; yet he fails, in the end, to overcome the dualistic divide between the rational mind and the transrational pursuit of higher spiritual meaning and purpose. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND STYLE I wish to express enormous thanks and gratitude to Dr. Donna Tussing Orwin, Dr. Ralph Lindheim and Dr. Sarah J. Young for their invaluable guidance to me throughout the process of writing this dissertation. Thank you also to Dr. Christopher Barnes and Dr. Robin Feuer Miller for their close reading of my final manuscript and helpful questions and comments during my defense. Special thanks also to Dr. Christina Kramer, Dr. Ken Lantz, Dr. Leonid Livak and Dr. Tamara Trojanowska for much help and encouragement. Thanks are also due to many other professors and colleagues at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures for enriching the experience of my graduate studies at the University of Toronto. In addition, I am indebted to many friends and family for their ongoing patience, love and generous support. I cannot thank you enough. This work is dedicated especially to my mom, Karen, my sister, Carrie, and to the memory of my father, Francis Roy Harrison (1941 - 2000). The text of Dvoinik can be found in the Academy Edition of Dostoevsky's Polnoe sobranie sochinenii v 30-i tomakh [Complete Collected Works in 30 Vols.] (Leningrad: Nauka, 1972-85, Vol. 1, 109-229). Except where noted otherwise, translations of the quoted passages are from The Double, A Poem of St. Petersburg, translated by George Bird (Bloomington IN: Indiana University Press, 1958), which I modify where necessary. Translations of other Russian texts are mine except where indicated. For transliteration, I use the system recommended by the Library of Congress, except in the case of common spellings of some Russian names. iv DUALITY AND THE PROBLEM OF MORAL SELF-AWARENESS IN DOSTOEVSKI'S DVOINIK {THE DOUBLE) CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO DVOINIK: CONTEXT AND ORIGINS Overview 1 Cultural Orientations 11 Romantic Poetics and the Doppelganger Motif 18 Synopsis 32 CHAPTER 2: LITERARY ANTECEDENTS AND CRITICAL RESPONSES Heart and Mind: Pogorelsky, Veltman, Odoevsky 35 Otechestvennye zapiski and the Consolidation of Russian Realism 54 Chinovnik Tales 63 The Natural School Critique of Dvoinik 11 Valerian Maikov and Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin: 'Analysis' and 'Contradiction' 87 Other Critical Approaches 96 CHAPTER 3: MORALITY, MASKS AND DUPLICITY Golyadkin's Dual Self-Perception 102 Viewing the Self as ' Other' 119 Goly adkin' s Confession 130 Moral Authority of the 'Fathers' 142 The Ends and Beginnings 152 Duality in a'Higher Sense' 166 CHAPTER 4: ETHICAL EGOISM AND DOSTOEVSKY'S EFFORTS TO REVISE DVOINIK "Zuboskal" and "Peterburgskaia letopis'" 177 Dvoinik in the 1860s 188 Projected Revisions to Dvoinik and Correlations with Zapiski iz podpol 'ia 195 CONCLUSION: BEYOND DUALITY 213 APPENDIX: RUSSIAN TITLES, TRANSLITERATIONS, AND ENGLISH EQUIVALENTS 225 WORKS CITED 227 v CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DVOINIK: CONTEXT AND ORIGINS Overview Two abiding concerns in the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky are the correlated problems of subjective consciousness and moral agency. The Underground Man has 'heightened awareness' [usilennoe soznanie] and has cultivated 'the exalted and beautiful' [prekrasnoe i vysokoe] all his life, yet he rails against conventional morality and defends his right to contrary acts of self-assertion. Raskolnikov considers himself an extraordinary man, unbound by the moral constraints of society, yet his conscious life is shattered by the consequences of his moral transgressions. Ivan Karamazov is a rationalist who rejects the notion of God, but he is beleaguered by guilt and fixated on the problems of suffering and moral conscience. These are but a sampling of the moral dilemmas faced by some of Dostoevsky's better known characters. In a wider frame, these problems absorbed nineteenth-century Russian and European thinkers and dominated socio-philosophical notions of the epoch. Notably, G. W. F. Hegel in Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) interpreted moral and religious experience as a phenomenon of human consciousness, where God is analogous to self-consciousness or self-knowing; Ludwig Feuerbach argued in The Essence of Christianity (1841) that consciousness of God is the moral consciousness of the species; In The Individual and His Own or The Ego and His Own (1844), Max Stirner posited that Egoism is the ideal 1 2 social system, that God in fact is an Egoist, and that Egoism transcends even love.1 The generation of Russian thinkers of the 1830s and 40s were profoundly influenced by these and other thinkers, especially inasmuch as the aesthetic problem of Russia was related to epistemology. From Kant to Hegel, the relation of 'mind' to 'nature,' of individual consciousness to external reality, was the basis for the dualistic thinking that dominated Russian intellectual life through these decades.2 Friedrich Schelling

  • Psique E Autoconsciência Em Carl Gustav Carus1
    Sidnei Vilmar Noé Quando a ideia se autorreconhece Quando a ideia se autorreconhece: psique e autoconsciência em Carl Gustav Carus1 When the Idea acknowledges itself: psyche and self-awareness in Carl Gustav Carus Sidnei Vilmar Noé2 RESUMO __________________________________________________________________________________ Carl Gustav CARUS (*1789 – Leipzig; † 1869 – Dresden) é um representante tardio do Romantismo Alemão. Situa-se teoricamente em uma linha que se estende desde PLATÃO (se bem que, com uma incursão decisiva em ARISTÓTELES) até F. W. J. von SCHELLING, passando por G. W. LEIBNIZ, J. G. von HERDER e, especialmente J. W. von GOETHE. O autor apresenta, ao longo de toda a sua obra, uma compreensão de um mundo «orgânico» em que tudo está intrinsecamente inter-relacionado. Isto, porque há um princípio, uma potência, uma ideia absoluta, que subjaz a tudo e quer se realizar em ato através de todas as manifestações da vida, passíveis de apreensão pelos sentidos. Esta ideia absoluta, em última análise, é o próprio deus. No ser humano esta potência pode se realizar em seu sentido pleno, através do percurso que parte de um estágio de inconsciência absoluta, passando por uma inconsciência relativa, até chegar à autoconsciência. Esta autoconsciência é idêntica, se bem que jamais possa alcançá-la plenamente, à consciência do fundamento da ideia que lhe deu origem; portanto, do próprio deus. Dela o ser humano emana e a ela, assim como as demais formas de vida, retorna, não sem deixar um rastro subjetivo no aprimoramento da própria ideia, através da sua mais ou menos bem-sucedida realização ao longo da vida. __________________________________________________________________________________ Palavras-chave: Psique, autoconsciência, Romantismo Alemão, Carl Gustav Carus.

  • 1 Did Goethe and Schelling Endorse Species Evolution?
    Did Goethe and Schelling Endorse Species Evolution? Robert J. Richards University of Chicago Charles Darwin was quite sensitive to the charge that his theory of species transmutation was not original but had been anticipated by earlier authors, most famously by Lamarck and his own grandfather, Erasmus Darwin. The younger Darwin believed, however, his own originality lay in the device he used to explain the change of species over time and in the kind of evidence he brought to bear to demonstrate such change. He was thus ready to concede and recognize predecessors, especially those that caused only modest ripples in the intellectual stream. In the historical introduction that he included in the third edition of the Origin, he acknowledged Johann Wolfgang von Goethe as “an extreme partisan” of the transmutation view. He had been encouraged to embrace Goethe as a fellow transmutationist by Isidore Geoffroy St. Hilaire and Ernst Haeckel.1 Scholars today think that Darwin’s recognition of Goethe was a mistake. They usually deny that the Naturphilosophen, especially Friedrich Joseph Schelling, held anything like a theory of species evolution in the manner of Charles Darwin—that is, a conception of a gradual change of species in the empirical world over long periods of time. Dietrich von Engelhardt, for instance, in commenting on an enticing passage from Schelling’s Erster Entwurf eines Systems der Naturphilosophie (First sketch of a system of nature philosophy,1799), declares “Schelling is no forerunner of Darwin.” Schelling, 1 Darwin mentions in his historical introduction to the Origin that Geoffroy St. Hilaire had recognized Goethe as a transmutationist.

  • Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers
    Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Harsha Ram, Chair Professor Irina Paperno Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2010 ABSTRACT Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Harsha Ram, Chair The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that “Soviet” and “Russian” were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense – as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia’s literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers.

    International Journal of Jungian Studies (2021) 1–27 brill.com/ijjs Jung’s and Groddeck’s Analytic Practice Alternative Methods That Have Prevailed over Freud’s Psychoanalysis Marco Balenci | orcid: 0000-0001-6677-9393 aipa, iaap, iajs, Florence, Italy [email protected] Abstract This paper shows that Georg Groddeck and Carl Gustav Jung shared a common cul- tural background, in which Carl Gustav Carus’s theory of the psyche was preeminent. Accordingly, they emphasized symbolization and unconscious creativity.These aspects affected their clinical work, aimed at pioneering therapies: Jung with schizophrenics, Groddeck treating physical diseases. They overcame the limits of the psychoanalysis of their time and, going beyond neurosis, discovered the pre-Oedipal period and the fun- damental role of mother-child relationship. While Freud’s technique was based on a one-person paradigm, both Jung and Groddeck considered analytic therapy as a dialec- tical process, ushering in a two-person paradigm.Therefore, they did not use the couch; a setting that is assessed in the light of recent research on mirror neurons. It is also highlighted that the analytic groups influenced by Groddeck and Jung have developed similar ideas in both theory and technique; a fact that may induce further studies on the history of depth psychology.
