Abstract

From the work Notes from underground of the writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, has been established a connection between the literary work and philosophical questions raised by it. Considering that such work by our author allowed us to reflect and investigate issues about evil, its practice taking into account that the individual has conscience and free will and, finally, how this happens when he is accountable to a divine figure, the philosophical questions raised by the work through its main character are identified and discussed. Furthermore, the debate about these same problems in later works by the author is left open.
