Summary/Abstract: Fyodor Mihailovich Dostoevsky, a key figure in the philosophical thought of the twentieth century, for a time, was marginalized as a thinker in comparison with Nietzschе who is considered as a great philosopher. Thinking about God in a Christian way, Dostoevsky and his followers opened the question of the Logos as truth, but also the question of morality and beauty. Archimandrite Justin Popović as a representative of Orthodox spirituality, of Dostoevsky’s Russian Orthodox thought and in particular of St Savian Serbian Christian tradition, engaged with Dostoevsky’s thought in his thesis as well as in his other theological and philosophical works. This paper deals with the problem of human spirit and spirituality in the reflections of Abba Justin (viz. philosophy of love and gnoseology): however, defining Abba Justin not only as a philosophical and theological thinker, but as a supreme interpreter of Dostoyevsky’s literary world as well.
