Abstract
Summary There is a widespread opinion among Russian literary scholars and philosophers that Dostoevsky was an irreconcilable anti-Kantian, and in his novels, first of all in The Brothers Karamazov, he conducted polemics against Kant on the issues of moral and religion. In my paper, I analyze the problem of the relationship between moral and religion in Kant and Dostoevsky. In this regard, I consider the question of what is primary as the basis of moral believes – moral or religion, as well as the question of autonomy in matters of religion. A parallel reading of the Critique of Pure Reason and the novels The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment from the perspective of these questions reveals Dostoevsky, to some extent, as a Kantian.
