On the Significance of Science and Art
1886
On the Significance of Science and Art, published in 1886 by Leo Tolstoy, is an intellectual treatise that examines the roles of science and art in society. Tolstoy critiques contemporary philosophies, arguing that they often perpetuate moral shortcomings and social inequalities rather than serve the greater good. He questions the justification of idleness among certain social classes and critiques Hegelian and Malthusian theories, advocating for a reassessment of how these fields should contribute to human wellbeing. This work is notable for its deep philosophical inquiries into the relationship between intellectual pursuits and the common good.
