- Slide 15
- German philosopher, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel WHO will commit a crime that will eventually cause good? A radical, revolutionary interpretation of Hegels philosophy that developed after Hegels death in 1831, the Left Hegelians valued Freedom and Reason above all else, critiquing religion as irrational, and arguing the story of Jesus was a myth warped by those in power to subdue the masses. Feuerbach (1804-1872), a prominent Left Hegelian, wrote that Godand Christwere merely fictions representing the alienated essence of mankinds highest values. The task of mankind was thus to reappropriate its own essence by reassuming the powers and prerogatives alienated to the divine (Frank). In other words, Left Hegelians sought to replace God-man [Christ] with man-God. (centerstage.org/crimeandpunishment) HEGELIAN PHILOSOPHY

- Raskolnikov is now forced to commit the crime before sorting out the details. (because he knows she will not be home, and may not get another opportunity like this) He succeeds in killing Alyona. However, he fails in leaving the door open and having to kill Lizaveta (Alyonas sister) as well. This represents his hamartia (missing of the mark), and this will cause his punishment, his internal struggle with himself and with what he has done. CHAPTER VI CONTINUED
