Polosina, A. N. The Idea of Violence in Lev Tolstoy’s Creative Work
Abstract:
Despite the fact that the idea of violence is
quite utopian and abstract, when Lev Tolstoy refreshed the
idea at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century
in his own grandiose way, it made a strong impression on
his contemporaries, attracted criticism of philosophers and
politicians of all kinds and movements and created grounds
for it to be recognized and accepted in many regions of the
world (by Mohandas Gandhi, Martin King and others).
As if he could foresee an unusual splash of violence in the
oncoming 20th century, the writer kept discussing the
Antique truth in his novels, philosophical and political
essays, diaries, letters and verbal expressions. Although
we do not even claim that we will be ever to fully represent
this topic, we will try and analyze the genetic sources of
Tolstoy’s rejection of violence as well as evolution of the idea
of Satyagraha in his philosophy.
Keywords:
cultural studies, genesis, violence, Satyag raha, state institution, power, money, Church, Christianity, rejection.
