According to the hypothesis of this essay, Lukács wrote two seminal essays on Dostoevsky’s "Crime and Punishment", two essays that, however, do not deal directly with either the book or its author, but assume in the most penetrating way the two theses which built the novel. The first thesis: the murderer does not repent and indeed lucidly vindicates his murderous deed (until the very last, Raskol’nikov thinks about the possibility of renouncing his confession). The second thesis is the wreckage of the first: the end of dialectics, of rationally consequential reasoning, the genuflection in the presence of feeling, the assumption of Life in place of Death. The two essays in question are "Bolshevism as a Moral Problem" (1918), which follows the second thesis verbatim, and "Tactics and Ethics" (1919), which follows the first. The intent of this dual pronouncement is to illustrate in every aspect the function of ethics regarding the dramatic choice between reformism and revolution.
