While there has been considerable interest in the writings of Søren Kierkegaard and Fyodor Dostoevsky, both of whom are considered seminal existential thinkers, relatively little has been said about similarities in their thought. In this paper, I propose to read their philosophical and literary works together as texts that offer an elaborate model of an existential religious transformation. Both Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky sketch a path leading from the inauthentic, internally fragmented and egotistic self to the authentically Christian, humble and loving individual. By examining the underlying structure of this transformative process, I try to show that its portrayal is in many ways similar in the account of both writers. Furthermore, I maintain that they set out not only to describe the inner workings of the existential religious transformation, but that their effort constitutes a direct appeal to the reader to initiate the transformative process herself or himself.

通往真实性的道路：克尔凯郭尔和陀思妥耶夫斯基关于存在转化

尽管人们对 Søren Kierkegaard 和 Fyodor Dostoevsky 的著作颇感兴趣，他们都被认为是开创性的存在主义思想家，但关于他们思想的相似之处却鲜有提及。在本文中，我建议将他们的哲学和文学作品作为文本一起阅读，这些文本提供了一个存在主义宗教转变的精细模型。克尔凯郭尔和陀思妥耶夫斯基都描绘了一条从不真实、内心分裂和自负的自我到真正的基督徒、谦卑和充满爱心的个人的道路。通过检查这一变革过程的基本结构，我试图表明两位作家的描述在许多方面是相似的。此外，我坚持认为他们不仅着手描述存在主义宗教变革的内部运作，
