Answer by Mizz_Cocoa
They both lived in different periods of time. Dostoevsky’s works are much more easier to understand than Kant’s. While Kant was a scholar, philosopher, and professor, employed metaphysics in his writings and was essentially a non-fiction writer in his works, Dostoevksy was more of a realist fiction and essay writer and used those to critique society in a philosophical manner. Dostoevsky was also epileptic while Kant was not. Kant was Prussian and Dostoevsky was Russian. Read their works and you’ll understand their differences. Their similarities are that they both play with laws, judgements, societal structures, etc in their works.

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky[1] (11 November 1821[2] – 9 February 1881[3]) was a Russian writer of realist fiction and essays.[4] He is best known for his novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, Dostoyevsky wrote, with the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", Notes from Underground (1864), which was called the "best overture for existentialism ever written" by Walter Kaufmann.[5] Dostoyevsky is often acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature
