In "On the Significance of Science and Art," Leo Tolstoy embarks on a profound examination of the intricate relationship between art and science within the tapestry of human existence. Tolstoy's literary style is marked by clarity and philosophical rigor, as he navigates the essential functions these disciplines serve in illuminating the moral and spiritual dimensions of life. Situated in the literary context of the late 19th century, a period marked by rapid scientific advancement and cultural upheaval, the work critiques the growing alienation from genuine human experience that accompanies unchecked intellectualism, promoting instead a harmonious integration of knowledge and creativity that enriches the human soul. Leo Tolstoy, renowned for works such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," transformed from a life of privilege to one of deep moral inquiry and social activism, seeking answers to the fundamental questions of life's purpose. His personal evolution toward pacifism and humanitarianism imbued his writings with a richness of ethical consideration, particularly evident in this reflective discourse on art and science as vehicles for profound societal transformation. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the human condition will find "On the Significance of Science and Art" a compelling read. Tolstoy's timeless reflections not only challenge conventional paradigms but also encourage a re-evaluation of how art and science can serve a higher moral calling, ultimately illuminating the path towards a more meaningful existence.

Lev Tolstoi

Autor

Lev Tolstói (Yásnaia Poliana, 1828- Astapovo, 1910). Su destreza narrativa, la profundidad de sus intuiciones y la precisión psicológica con la que describe a sus personajes lo erigen en uno de los pensadores morales más fecundos y más fascinantes. En su obra hay títulos tan relevantes como Guerra y paz (1869), Anna Karénina (1877) o Resurrección (1899). En esta editorial han aparecido Sonata a Kreutzer (1889; Acantilado, 2003), la crónica Confesión (Acantilado, 2008) y el relato largo La tormenta de nieve (Acantilado, 2010), así como una selección de sus Diarios (en dos volúmenes, correspondientes a los años 1847-1894 y 1895-1910; Acantilado, 2002 y 2003) a cargo de Selma Ancira, que también se encargó de la edición de su Correspondencia (Acantilado, 2008), y la fabulosa biografía Vida de Tolstói, de Romain Rolland (2010). En 2012, Acantilado ha publicado "La felicidad conyugal".
