The evolution of his protagonists as criminal minds of Raskolnikov, Rogozhin, Stravgin and Smerdyakov in his various novels depicts mostly suffering, search for meaning, alienation and abject poverty. The characters in his epic novels provide a remarkable insight into the psychology of a man, and he has been acknowledged as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. While the acclaim is owed to Wundt, James, Freud, etc for the formal establishment of ‘Psychology’ as a legitimate discipline, there have been a few subtle contributions by Dostoevsky, one of the greatest Russian writers in history.
Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is probably least mentioned as one of the early proponents of Psychology.
