Парадигма «дитя» в интерпретации Федора Достоевского

The entire body of the literary works by Fyodor Dostoevsky has been viewed from the point of view of the ontology of a child. The detailed analysis of this phenomenon gives the possibility to understand its nature, quintessence, specificity of the literary embodiment. It is the question of the actualization of the principles of the research experience. The supposed simplicity of the notion “a child” can be revealed in the ontological issue of “parents and children”, that brings to the symbolic definition of the phenomenon through the Biblical paradigm of the “grain”.
