The Complete Works of Lyof N. Tolstoi

"The Complete Works of Lyof N. Tolstoi: Patriotism, Slavery of Our Times, General Articles" is a profound collection of Leo Tolstoy's non-fiction writings, focusing on his later philosophical, social, and political views. This volume brings together some of the author's most challenging critiques of the modern state, military organization, and the economic structures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In "Patriotism," Tolstoy examines the moral implications of national loyalty and its role in perpetuating international conflict, arguing for a more universal human connection beyond borders. "The Slavery of Our Times" offers a searing indictment of the industrial labor system, comparing the plight of the modern working class to historical forms of servitude and calling for a radical re-evaluation of human labor and dignity.Beyond these major essays, the collection includes various general articles that explore themes of Christian anarchism, nonviolence, and the necessity of individual conscience over collective dogma. Tolstoy's prose is characterized by its moral clarity and uncompromising pursuit of truth, making this a vital resource for readers interested in social reform, ethics, and the evolution of pacifist thought. These works demonstrate how Tolstoy transitioned from a master of the novel to one of the world's most influential social critics and moral philosophers.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
