关于此电子书

A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. "Christianity and Patriotism" sees Tolstoy exploring the relationship between religious faith and nationalism. He questions if patriotism aligns with Christian principles of love, compassion, and non-violence. Using biblical teachings and historical examples, Tolstoy critiques the blind allegiance to the state. The essay remains relevant in discussions about religion, nationalism, and personal conscience.
