On The Significance Of Science And Art (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162677651)

""On The Significance Of Science And Art"" is a collection of essays written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. In these essays, Tolstoy explores the relationship between science and art, and their respective roles in human society. He argues that while science is concerned with understanding the physical world, art is concerned with understanding human experience and emotions. Tolstoy also critiques the modern education system, which he believes places too much emphasis on scientific and technical knowledge, and not enough on artistic and moral development. Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on his own experiences as a writer and thinker to make a compelling case for the importance of art in human life. This book is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the intersection of science, art, and human culture.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.
