	Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Search, Read, Study, Discuss.
		Crime and Punishment is the tale of one young man, Raskolnikov, and his journey through insanity, and the lives affected by it.
		Not that they condone murder, or are anywhere as extreme as Raskolnikov was, but that they basically have a materialist, utilitarian philosophy where the end justifies the means, that there is really not an innate value in every life, that reason, and ideology based on reason, trumps all.
		The novel ended in a kind of intense cresendo, and in the aftermath Raskolnikov seems angry, perhaps beginning to renege on the renunciation of his former philosophy, until he has his dream of the virus, and the subsequent realization of Sonia as a way out of the mess his former ideology entailed.
