>Become yourself: an injunction addressed only to a few, and which to an even smaller number appears redundant. One can see now how problematic is the very point that has hitherto seemed fixed: fidelity to oneself, the absolute, autonomous law based on one’s own “being,” when it is formulated in general and abstract terms. Everything is subject to debate—a situation accurately exemplified by characters in Dostoyevsky, like Raskolnikov or Stavrogin.

Their freedom is turned against them and destroys them
