I'm reading Notes from Underground, and it seems like Dostoevsky doesn't really like the French that much. What does this guy have against French people?

In what sense was the man not a thinker? In what fashion was he an anti-intellectual? The man's conclusions differing from yours is no real rubric for determining the intelligence of the man's work.

Does that make him an anti-intellectual?
