Product Description

English summary: In his last years, Leo Tolstoy has composed some compilations of aphoristic wisdom. The culmination of this last period of work was the way of life from the year 1910, the year of Tolstoy's death. Therein Tolstoy found a special language of wisdom, which has arisen out from his mystical religious thinking and the expressionistic extremes in his moralistic tracts, such as Truth and deception, God an man, Spirit and flesh, Women and man, Life and death. As wisdom Tolstoy's thinking has developed to some practice of religious meditation. Holger Kusse investigates Tolstoy's thinking in extremes, his language of moral, his mystical thinking and, as a result, his language of wisdom. It shows not only Tolstoy's particular philosophy, but also the forms of expression, in which the famous Russian writer proves himself as a provocative modern thinker for our times. In his second part, Kusse presents a selection of aphorisms, thoughts and ideas from The way of life. German description: In seinen letzten Lebensjahren verfasste Lev Tolstoj eine Reihe von Aphorismen- und Gedankensammlungen, in denen sich sein religios-moralisches Denken zur Sprache der Weisheit entwickelte. Ihr Hohepunkt ist die im Todesjahr des Dichters, 1910, entstandene Sammlung Der Weg des Lebens. Die Sprache der Weisheit bildet eine eigenstandige Welt im Werk Tolstojs, ist aber aus der mystischen Spiritualitat und den expressionistischen Gegensatzen hervorgegangen, in denen sich sein Denken in umfangreichen moralischen, kirchen- und institutionenkritischen Traktaten seit den siebziger Jahren des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts entwickelt hatte. Zu den Gegensatzen gehoren Wahrheit und Tauschung, Gott und Mensch, Geist und Fleisch, Mann und Frau, Tod und Leben. Als Moralist prangerte Tolstoj in langen Traktaten die Ubel der Welt und der menschlichen Gesellschaft an. Als Mystiker sprach er vom Licht Gottes, das in jedem Menschen leuchten will. Beides zusammen macht ihn zu einem aktuellen provokanten D
