title: [The Dying Horse: the contradictoriness of the Self in a dream of Raskolnikov and in the breakdown of Nietzsche].
abstract: The author deals with the curious and uncanny parallel between a dream recounted in Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and the famous Turin incident from Nietzsche's life shortly before his psychotic breakdown. The psychoanalytic interpretation focuses on the articulation of the contradictoriness and multiplicity of the Self.
