타자 윤리학의 관점에서 본 고통의 의미 : 도스토예프스키의 「우스운 자의 꿈」을 중심으로

The suffering of the ridiculous man in Dostoevsky''s novel “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man” is significant in terms of other ethics. The protagonist''s exterior of the suffering of others caused guilt-induced suffering. The pain was caused by shame and anger at himself. Moral sense may be strange to the protagonist who is unfamiliar with feelings. However, in the dream, the protagonist faces greater pain, feeling guilty as a source of moral corruption after committing suicide by shooting with a chest. However, the pain is not a pain to be avoided anymore, it is a cross-like pain to bear on its own, and comes from solidarity and responsibility for others. The character of the pain did not change, but the protagonist''s attitude toward the pain changed. The main reason for the protagonist''s attitude change is the act of seeing and enlightening. In a dream, the protagonist looks at himself by facing the other person he has turned away, realizing the truth, and recalling a girl he met in reality. The protagonist ‘seeing’ provides a perspective of reflection and insight. Before dreaming, the protagonist tried not to look and ignore the other''s request, but to see the people and himself properly in the dream, reduce his responsibility for the fall, solidarity, and the need for atonement, and the girl he turned away after waking up. In search of ''seeing'', they take a gesture of response to the other.
