the Crystal Palace that is created in the MIND. See 'Notes from the Underground' where the anti-hero describes why he is dissatisfied, i.e. because he seeks to achieve a some generalized human being, "some day we will discover a way to be born from an idea": I think the Crystal Palace is a reference to the ideal society that was supposed to be established in Western Europe as a result of their individualistic philosophy.
