Abstract. <\/em><\/strong>The article discusses issues related to the religious and philosophical views of F. M. Dostoevsky. The purpose of the study is to examine the teleological issues in the novel The Brothers Karamazov<\/em>. Despite its significance, this aspect of the poetics of the final book has not yet received comprehensive coverage. The author focuses on the category of purpose and the ways of its explication. The key position of the category of purpose is confirmed by the fact that, firstly, it synthesizes the main themes of the novel, defining the ideological content, secondly, it is present as a theme \u2014 the main characters and secondary characters address it, and finally, it is realized in the composition of the novel, which is based on the teleological principle. Three ways of marking the category of purpose in the verbal actions of the novel\u2019s heroes are identified. One of them \u2014 lexical means \u2014 is the object of our consideration. The subject of the study is the conversations of the heroes and the narrator, in which the lexeme of purpose<\/em> is present. The scientific novelty consists in defining the compositional and content functions of the category of purpose, which is necessary for understanding the author as a subject of aesthetic activity. A distinction is made between the concept of purpose, which refers to the actions of heroes in the objective world, and the concept of telos, which denotes the true, timeless purpose of life, transcendental, external in relation to human consciousness. A fundamental difference is established between the hero\u2019s declaration of the goal in verbal actions and the message about the goal as formulated by the narrator. The connection between the categories of purpose<\/em> and memory<\/em> are determined. The results of the study can be used in a special course devoted to the study of F. M. Dostoevsky\u2019s work, in higher educational institutions, as well as in the analysis of artistic texts having complex poetics.<\/p>\n
