On the Significance of Science and Art (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169210592)

On The Significance Of Science And Art is a collection of essays written by the renowned Russian author, Leo Tolstoy. The book explores the relationship between science and art, and their significance in human life. Tolstoy argues that while science seeks to understand the material world, art seeks to understand the spiritual world. He believes that art is essential to human life because it allows us to connect with our emotions and express our deepest feelings.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on science and its limitations, while the second part focuses on art and its importance. Tolstoy argues that science alone cannot provide us with a complete understanding of the world, and that we need art to help us understand the spiritual aspects of life.Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on examples from his own life and experiences to illustrate his points. He also discusses the work of other artists and thinkers, such as Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Goethe.Overall, On The Significance Of Science And Art is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think deeply about the role of science and art in their own lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or the arts.But this is unjust. I not only do not repudiate art and science, but, in the name of that which is true art and true science, I say that which I do say; merely in order that mankind may emerge from that savage state into which it will speedily fall, thanks to the erroneous teaching of our time, --only for this purpose do I say that which I say.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
