Tolstoy’s Genius Life Philosophy

If you enjoy my content, feel free to buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/fictionbeast Exactly a year ago, I made a video talking about 8 life lessons from Fyodor Dostoevsky. Today I will sum up Leo Tolstoy’s life philosophy into 8 lessons. Just like the characters in his novels, Tolstoy was obsessed with life’s meaning and purpose. In today’s world, our struggle is not against the natural elements as much as against other people. So Tolstoy focused his creative energy on how we navigate society. If Dostoevsky was a psychologist, Tolstoy was a sociologist or social psychologist. 🕔Time Stamps🕔 00:00 Introd: Tolstoy's life and writings 01:54 Lesson 1 Individual vs Society 03:50 Lesson 2 perfection vs imperfection 05:16 Lesson 3 Gaining vs giving 06:36 Lesson 4 Art vs science 07:57 Lesson 5 Death vs life 09:13 Lesson 6 Our contradictions 10:53 Lesson 7 Good vs great 12:39 Lesson 8 Life vs Death Music: We Are Here by Declan DP https://soundcloud.com/declandp Licensing Agreement: http://declandp.info/music-licensing Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_we-are-here Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/kNqzp11gXio #Tolstoy #Russianliterature #fictionbeast
