Based on the analysis of the books by N. Lossky, L. Shestov and N. Berdyaev, the
author of the paper suggests a hypothesis that the main principle of F. Dostoyevsky’s
philosophical worldview is an idea about the existence of people, “higher personalities”.
It is shown that N. Lossky’s interpretation is based on the fact that Dostoyevsky is a
strictly Orthodox writer. The author proves that, according to L. Shestov, Dostoyevsky’s
beliefs transformed from “humanism” into resistance to moral idealism and acceptance of the position of an “underground person”. The author analyses N. Berdyaev’s masterpiece “Doestoevsky’s World-View”, which explains Dostoyevsky’s religious ideas more
comprehensively.
Key words: F. Dostoyevsky, N. Lossky, L. Shestov, N. Berdyaev.
