Description of  A Prophet of Modern Delusions: Tolstoy s Critique of Modernity (Politics, Literature, & Film)

1666938092 rar Throughout his major works, Leo Tolstoy argues that the central problem of the modern world is its delusional character. We have become delusional about the utility of science, the effects of music, the nature of love and the divine, and the inescapable reality of death. A Prophet of Modern Delusions: Tolstoys Critique of Modernity explores Tolstoys arguments regarding these delusions. In so doing, it illustrates the continuing relevance of Tolstoys writings to those who desire to understand the complexities of modernity and who wish to be roused from deeply entrenched ways of thinking that may be delusional.
