Beauty Will Save the World - The Philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky 

I don't enjoy any propaganda videos.

It has sown hope into my soul again. Thank you.

Nice video, but why the bad mic effect? Looks like ur talking in the wind. Also at 1:38 it says at age 28 while in the letter a few seconds further its age 27?

Reformed and reworked beauty is sold. Real beauty can never be sold. Not a sunrise, not a beauty of children, not a kind smile, not flower fields that you can visit but never take home.

Wow

"Yet all Beauty is oppressed, subjugated, executed, removed from central planning and all its philosophies"

I don’t think he’s talking about that kind of beauty.

So true....economic inequality is also a severe form of social injustice.

it saved my life too, its saving my life currently. some music, movies, shows, and etc, has made me look at something that feels right , like i was meant to see it. but in a distracting world, all the noise can move me away from being happy, i have to be patient and find that still voice again

Keep on, dude! If anyone told me 11 months ago I would be still alive I would not have believed. I'm not only alive, but thriving. I cannot stress how searching a doctor and starting treatment is a life saver. @@lemonstrangler

Can you please share your favourites?!

Same and I'm tired of socializing but my age still need to go to school and I'm tired actually I hope I can grow older fast and live with books and alone

@@LizaMariquit-g7r i relate to this

​@@sashamoore9691what is wrong with you? how could you say that a father who lost his children doesn't care?

He had 4 kids

"Blessed are those that suffer cause they will be compforted" -JESUS CHRIST

​@@rubengomezmartinez5969she probably has a bad relationship with her father and was projecting

@@Sara-ww6jf I never got that, what good does it do to project, is it even a continuous decision? Man, some people I really can't get

I am optimistic that all people have beauty within and through expression we can simply reignite beauty in the world even when others snuff it out we simply light it back up again else where.

And those in power are failures. They can never accomplish this task... To be frank, they are currently on the precipice of extinction. Doesn't even need a push. Its happening, they are tipping tipping tipping. Soon to topple.

Isn't that a very drug-addict kind of thing to say?

@@psibarpsiI see this comment as another symptom of what’s wrong. Someone talks about having an experience like this and everyone automatically assumes it’s drugs. It doesn’t have to be. Sometimes if you’re in the right frame of mind you can just look at a thing of beauty and feel a sense of awe and wonder. I feel sorry for those who have never had this experience without the help of drugs.

how did you come to that conclusion? that those in power are trying to take beauty away from the common population, i mean

Damn everyone be getting me hyped up to read that 1000 page novel. Although I will have to read it via audible cuz no way my eyes can do all that work

​@@hatersgotohell627 It just made me depressed. I don't know what these people are going on about.

Here I am, Not sure why but that book was such a great read and made me fall in love with Dostoevskys work

I love that book. I only read it about a year and a half ago and it was perfect timing with everything that was going on in my life. I loved reading about his internal struggles, his defense of his sister, his compassion towards Sonya and her family, his gradually slipping mask of sanity, him staggering to the police office for his confession and his new view on life as he is in Siberia. I wish I read him in high school. I only made it through the first few chapters of Brothers Karamazov in hs and gave up. I recently finished that masterpiece a little over a year ago. I think that to understand his writings you have to had experienced suffering in a mental or social capacity resulting in loneliness, isolation and/or despair. If one denies and dismisses the pain of suffering in their life and lives superficially, it's harder to see what he is trying to tell us. Even then his psychological insight is so keen that he can show you yourself even if you don't wish to see it.

​@@hatersgotohell627Crime and Punishment is only about 500 pages or so. The translation of Pevear and Volokhonsky I read is around 550 pages.

I wish it was called the Kalamazoo Brothers lol

I'm Russian, and we have to read Dostoevsky mandatory in high school. I enjoyed his books "Crime and Punishment" and "Idiot" in high school but they really flourished years later. Relatively recently I reread "Crime and Punishment" and it was amazing. It sounds incredibly fresh, like someone wrote it nowadays. And lots of topics there are still relevant, and you can sympathize with almost all the characters. Dostoevsky is phenomenal indeed.

​@@NameNik223You're very lucky!here I have to dig deep to find his gems..

*Karamazov brothers ))

Ooo, I recently went back into reading, what are some of your recommendations?

you may be confusing what people value with beauty. As what some people value may be tied to a form of pathology rather than beauty

I think that that is one of the main themes of the Berserk manga, you could like it.

​@@DudeNamedDuncanI believe beauty is just an ideology, that we gained with years of informational dogma spreading for millennials

​@@nothing67440this isn't that type of beauty boyo

​@@mypiebecamepizza9503what

what if it was genocide💀💀

​@@yeet9703 beauty in death 💀

@@ronnlinapersonally I think that's beautiful too but ion wanna get air striked GSHAHSHAS

@@yeet9703 If it’s beautiful. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@yeet9703death isnt a solution its a disavowal from finding a solution. It doesnt solve anything, it avoids the problems entirely.

This is exactly why my plan is gonna wOrk out 100%...thx for reminding me bro!!!❤

Making something beautiful out of hardship is what Christ on the cross symbolizes. We take up our crosses and follow Him, not for happiness, but for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is where all beauty comes from.

@@Ooweeeooo An easy search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY, through which lies and truth becomes easy listed. So far i have listed 28 lies and 28 truth. Have you started to dig? What have you found? What do you know about masonry club? About the evil rulers of this world, masons, what you know about them? The 2 that rule this world, can you name these?

@@enl8ghtenmenttv476did it

But the greatest of all beauty is in people and im not talking about the Inner Beauty bull crap. Nothing can be more healing than a Beautiful Face, which is also a sign of pure kindness and intelligence. In this very dark world, beauty is salvation. That is truth very few people can relate to. Because they keep holding on to the idea that a person should never be judge by their looks. Blessed are those who can relate this reality. It means you met someone truly beautiful and that was because felt beautiful too.

⁠@@eduardochavacanoDo you really believe in the idea that all pretty people are innocents that can do nothing wrong, while the uglies are all maniacs that want to do villainous acts all the time?

​@@eduardochavacanoI'm pretty sure inner beauty matters too if you say it's not then you're dismissing different forms of beauty. Also you're so so

So beautiful what you said !

Completely disagree

@@JamesLee50 why?

@@slavic_viking9638 cause it's completely subjective not telking about beauty But it saving people

well said!

@@rune.theocracy well thank you 🤠🙏

So who created horror and ugliness??

@@deanodog3667 well i am no theologian but it's my understanding that horror and ugliness are the direct effects of the fall of man. and then the corrupting forces of the fallen angels continue to take advantage of the fall.

@@cymbolic_space1832 so basically the consequences of two hippies raiding an old man's apple orchard ?? How very grown up of you !!

He had a profound faith in God, in Christ.

​@@vaska1999Not in the Protestant or Roman Catholic Christ, but in the Orthodox Christ.

Hey bro are you a Christian

Dostoevsky said he'd believe in God, the Christian god, even if it were proven to be total BS. Because he admitted that would make life too unbearable for him to endure. 'Idiot' is fitting.

Good things are naturally beautiful.

Indeed

Splendid video...bravo

I also believe this is what he meant. However, I tried as per Dostoevsky's message to make the message beautiful for everyone while also subtly incorporating what Dostoevsky actually thought.

@@Kessekom I’m sorry that this was your experience. But I’m a Catholic myself and my experience with Catholicism is the complete opposite. The joy, the beauty, the truth, the wisdom, the rich intelectual tradition, the deep understaing of the Bible, the inspiring saints, this is the Catholic Church I know. I realize that many people have unfortunatelly had plenty of negative experiences with Catholics, but all Catholics don’t necessarily reflect the nature of Catholicism. Please, just keep that in mind.

Indian scriptures have this dictum describing God - "Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram" - God is Truth is Goodness is Beauty, one and same.

​@@Kessekomhow can you create God?? We are created in His image and by His love and grace Has decided to share all His glory,riches and beauty for free through the belief in His only son Jesus who experienced ugliness of humanity to create hope for us in faith in Him alone.

@@johnnykilonzo2103 same way you create any other work of fiction

Thank you, it reminded me of something I had forgotten

❤

Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3

As an artist I've come to understand that because beauty has saved myself already.

Beauty is Jesus

Many great thinkers!

+++++

Спасибо!

Василий Розанов тоже интересный писатель. Это русский философ начала 20 века. Книга "Опавшие листья" и другое...

Welcome home to you and your family ☦️ many years!

Wow! I'm sorry for responding to this comment so late. I'm surprised to hear that you enjoyed the video so much. Likewise, if you want to collaborate, my contact email is in my about section on RU-vid. Thank you for the opportunity, and have a beautiful day!

Nice seeing a fellow Afghan Dostoevsky lover here

I absolutely agree. I even think the overall sense of beauty people have on a large scale, could determine the fate of the world. Whether people truly have a sense of there is something to protect and preserve or they dont see the point. It can hugely impact what effort people make, what they value and how they act. Valuing life itself (whether were talking individual lives or species preservation, or the right for each one to have a good life and certain rights) requires seeing beauty in life. And I think people more overall content are naturally kinder (but some can still suffer a lot and yet have a lot of compassion)

Cool it with the anti-Semitic remarks.

@@ElonMuskrat-my8jyshut up

Bjork and Madonna in one song is Perfection that can save lives.

⁠Madonna????

Very overrated album

@@nickpeitchev7763 beauty is in the eye of the beholder Imo its not overrated at all because most people don't even care to understand the lyrics or the musical composition they just stray away in distaste because they think its "strange" Even if its not for you I think any true music lover can still appreciate its quality

Her voice is bad the lyrics are bad only the music is good

Of course, they talk too much. Who cares about difficult words and concepts? It's stupid

you just are, but you still have to rationalize what you believe in, otherwise it has no validity

Always keep your head up. Losing a loved one is always hard but in the end we all reunite in my opinion so don't worry.

Yes remove the uglies

​​@@rhetoric5173it would be very ugly of you if you decided to genocide and oppress ugly people lmao chill

Beautiful people are the cruelest and most narcissistic, self-serving, complacent, and conceited. Regardless if their beauty comes from their background, family, house, inheritance, health, fitness, and/or education. They're garbage human beings who are extraordinarily haughty and unloving because they only see themselves and those similar to them as human beings. They neither love their neighbor nor their enemies if they are strangers to their existence, experiences, and appearance.

I could be wrong but I think Socrates and Plato were the first philosophers to connect goodness, beauty and truth. Even before them, the King and Prophet David wrote about the goodness, beauty and truthfulness of God in the Psalms.

Я с вами согласен,это и мой его любимый роман...могу вам посоветовать русскую экранизацию "Идиота" только я не знаю есть ли она на английском..

Theres beauty found inn things that arent works of art. Like nature etc, feelings, experiences

Dostoevsky would have said art if he'd meant art. He meant something far transcending art.

I do also like Roger Scrutons discussions of "Why Beauty Matters" but of course it doesn't to everyone and it's also a mostly subjective term also. Maybe Russians think their architecture beautiful but they think war and blood in the streets dead men heartbroken women "beautiful" too or expect just the sight of the Kremlin enough to make them forget?
