One key question in Dostoevsky's philosophy is the idea of whether humans are naturally inclined to do evil. Are humans good? Are humans evil? Is there even a correct answer to this question. 
In this video extract, I try to answer this question and view Dostoevsky's philosophy from the perspective of Heideggarian thrownness, in other words, to say that it actually is a bit of both, that humans are simultaneously good and evil is something which has to be synthesised.
