About this book
In a transformative era marked by rapid industrialization and shifting cultural paradigms, "On the Significance of Science and Art" by Leo Tolstoy emerges as a profound exploration of the interplay between these two realms. Tolstoy challenges the prevailing belief in the supremacy of scientific rationality, advocating instead for the emotional and moral dimensions of art. He posits that true fulfillment lies not in mere knowledge but in the capacity to connect with humanity through creativity. This intellectual treatise serves as a crucial resource for students, civic activists, and historians alike, prompting critical reflection on the societal roles of both science and art. Engage with Tolstoy’s insights to understand their enduring relevance in contemporary discourse.
