There are other characters in other books echoing UM: Pofiriy in C&P, Rogozin in Idiot. In D's perspective, this kind of man is beyond redemption. Why I say "possible solution" is that UM is the epitome of extreme, who commits himself completely into chaotic thinking.
They will act against their own "goods" in order to prove their freewill.ĭ's possible solution for UM would be religion, to be precise, the orthodox Russian Christianity. Through UM, D tries to say that when people are motivated only by rational self-interests, they are eventually gonna lose their sanity. UM is D's direct response to Chernyshevsky's What is to be Done, which basically manifests the rising idea of socialism in Russia. He represents the opposite of the rational thought, while in D's mind, rational thought does not lead humans into a good future. I wouldn't say underground man is the worst in humanity.
