Summary/Abstract: This text is an attempt to locate, not only the philosophical ideas in the works of Dostoyevsky, but it is an attempt to reconstruct his philosophy as a whole. In this text we argue that Dostoyevsky has a philosophical system, which he builds in his novels. Is it possible to reconstruct a system from a novel, and how it is possible? That is why we will try to find a method of reconstruction of his novels that will helps us to »extract« the base elements of his philosophy. That is why the organization and approach in this text is structured in such a manner to, on one side, give a review of the important moments of the author’s personal life which, according to us, were the key factors in determining Dostoyevsky’s philosophy, and, on the other side, enable us to get insight into the bases of that philosophy we showed as a complete whole. That is why the text combining chronological and problem approaches that in turn have their advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps choosing only one approach would produce a more coherent text, but it would certainly impoverish it in relation to the necessary links between life and creative work, which for us is especially important to emphasize.
