Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Irony, Romanticism, NihilismAbstract
The article considers that Kierkegaard's analyzes of romantic irony carry a critical and explanatory potential capable of shedding light on the philosophical and aesthetic significance of Dostoevsky's romanesque works. Considering the judgment of Bakhtin, who recognized in Dostoevsky's polyphonic Novel an expression of overcoming the philosophical solipsism of romanticism, the article proposes that the kierkegaardian concept of “dominated irony”, present in the last part of his dissertation on The concept of irony, can be used as a key to the interpretation of Dostoevsky's aesthetics, as well as his diagnosis and attempt to overcome the aesthetic nihilism of romantics.
