4.9/5 (31749 ratings)

Description:Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), besides writing famous novels such as War and Peace, also wrote on political thought, especially later in his life, putting forward a political philosophy which might be termed "Christian anarchism." This book provides a comprehensive overview of Tolstoya (TM)s political thought. It outlines in a systematic way Tolstoya (TM)s thought, which was originally articulated unsystematically in diverse, often informal writing, such as pamphlets, letters and speeches, as well as books, and in his novels, where Tolstoya (TM)s thinking is put forward implicitly through the novelsa (TM) characters. The book sets out the basic themes of Tolstoya (TM)s political thought: his acceptance of the teachings of Jesus, his criticism of the way in which Jesusa (TM)s teachings have been preached by the church through traditional creeds and dogma, his passionate rejection of political violence both by the state and those working for reform, his plea for a non-violent response to violence and injustice, and his call for society to forego its institutional shackles and enact a community of peace, love and justice. The book also includes background information on the Russia of Tolstoya (TM)s time, including the religious context; and a discussion of how Tolstoya (TM)s political thought has been received, both by his admirers, who included Gandhi, and his critics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
