Description:   9780810133365. Pre-Owned: Good condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 344. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 344 p. Studies in Russian Literature and Theory. This innovative study brings the early writings of Mikhail Bakhtin into conversation with Max Scheler and Fyodor Dostoevsky to explore the question of what makes emotional co-experiencing ethically and spiritually productive. In Problems of Dostoevsky s Poetics Bakhtin s well-known concept of the dialogical partner expresses what he sees as the potential of human relationships in Dostoevsky s work. But his earlier reflections on the ethical and aesthetic uses of empathy in part inspired by Scheler s philosophy suggest a still more fundamental form of communication that operates as a basis for human togetherness in Dostoevsky. Applying this rich and previously neglected theoretical apparatus in a literary analysis Wyman examines the obstacles to active empathy in Dostoevsky s fictional world considers the limitations and excesses of empathy addresses the problem of frustrated love in The Idiot and Notes from Underground and provides a fresh interpretation of two of Dostoevsky s most iconic characters Prince Myshkin and Alyosha Karamazov.
