This dissertation discusses the notion of kenosis and explores its appropriation in Dostoevsky's fictional and non-fictional writing. Relying on the theological doctrine of kenosis, this study investigates the historical origins, development, and ethical implications of its underlying concepts - "greatness in smallness" and "strength in weakness." Concentrating on Dostoevsky's novels The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot and Demons, this work looks for peaceful strategies of relating to otherness and demonstrates the relevance of nonjudgmental witnessing for a balanced relationship between self and alterity. This dissertation focuses on Dostoevsky's literary rendering of confessional discourse that promotes kenotic state of mind in view of the transcendent Other. I argue that Dostoevsky links confession and kenosis as modes of thinking imperative for human coexistence and progress.{A0}The first chapter surveys existing textual discussion of such conceptual kenotic movements as self-minimization and self-emptying, seen in various theological and philosophical traditions. It also affirms the significance of kenosis in Dostoevsky's own worldview. The next two chapters examine several confessional interactions from Dostoevsky's most famous novels, foregrounding the role of trialogic consciousness in his literary vision of confession as a practical implementation of the kenotic principle. Chapter Two focuses on successful transformational confessions that benefit their participants, while Chapter Three covers relational aberrations that become evident in an erroneous setup of a confessional moment. The conclusion discusses the use of the kenotic idea as a rhetorical device in Dostoevsky, linking his authorial choices with the development of the philosophy of polyphony.
