However, none show signs of Grove's reading, and Else von Freytag-Loringhoven's statement that Greve disliked Shaw before , and disapproved of her liking him, may also later be applied to Grove. It is possible that Greve made up for this missed opportunity during one of his subsequent trips to England before The Complete Plays of Bernard Shaw.

After reading Schopenhauer 's The World as Will and Representation , Tolstoy gradually became converted to the ascetic morality upheld in that work as the proper spiritual path for the upper classes: Constant raptures over Schopenhauer and a whole series of spiritual delights which I've never experienced before.
Leo Tolstoy - Wikipedia
It explained how the nothingness that results from complete denial of self is only a relative nothingness, and is not to be feared. The novelist was struck by the description of Christian, Buddhist , and Hindu ascetic renunciation as being the path to holiness. After reading passages such as the following, which abound in Schopenhauer's ethical chapters, the Russian nobleman chose poverty and formal denial of the will:.
But this very necessity of involuntary suffering by poor people for eternal salvation is also expressed by that utterance of the Savior Matthew Thus Buddha Sakyamuni was born a prince, but voluntarily took to the mendicant's staff; and Francis of Assisi , the founder of the mendicant orders who, as a youngster at a ball, where the daughters of all the notabilities were sitting together, was asked: In , Tolstoy wrote a book called What I Believe , in which he openly confessed his Christian beliefs.
He affirmed his belief in Jesus Christ 's teachings and was particularly influenced by the Sermon on the Mount , and the injunction to turn the other cheek , which he understood as a "commandment of non-resistance to evil by force" and a doctrine of pacifism and nonviolence. In his work The Kingdom of God Is Within You , he explains that he considered mistaken the Church's doctrine because they had made a "perversion" of Christ's teachings. Tolstoy believed being a Christian required him to be a pacifist; the consequences of being a pacifist, and the apparently inevitable waging of war by government, are the reason why he is considered a philosophical anarchist.
Later, various versions of "Tolstoy's Bible" would be published, indicating the passages Tolstoy most relied on, specifically, the reported words of Jesus himself.

Tolstoy believed that a true Christian could find lasting happiness by striving for inner self-perfection through following the Great Commandment of loving one's neighbor and God rather than looking outward to the Church or state for guidance. His belief in nonresistance when faced by conflict is another distinct attribute of his philosophy based on Christ's teachings. By directly influencing Mahatma Gandhi with this idea through his work The Kingdom of God Is Within You full text of English translation available on Wikisource , Tolstoy's profound influence on the nonviolent resistance movement reverberates to this day.
He believed that the aristocracy were a burden on the poor, and that the only solution to how we live together is through anarchism. He also opposed private property in land ownership [41] and the institution of marriage and valued the ideals of chastity and sexual abstinence discussed in Father Sergius and his preface to The Kreutzer Sonata , ideals also held by the young Gandhi. Tolstoy's later work derives a passion and verve from the depth of his austere moral views. Gorky relates how Tolstoy once read this passage before himself and Chekhov and that Tolstoy was moved to tears by the end of the reading.

Other later passages of rare power include the personal crises that were faced by the protagonists of The Death of Ivan Ilyich , and of Master and Man , where the main character in the former or the reader in the latter are made aware of the foolishness of the protagonists' lives. Tolstoy had a profound influence on the development of Christian anarchist thought. Without naming himself an anarchist, Leo Tolstoy, like his predecessors in the popular religious movements of the 15th and 16th centuries, Chojecki , Denk and many others, took the anarchist position as regards the state and property rights , deducing his conclusions from the general spirit of the teachings of Jesus and from the necessary dictates of reason.
With all the might of his talent, Tolstoy made especially in The Kingdom of God Is Within You a powerful criticism of the church, the state and law altogether, and especially of the present property laws. He describes the state as the domination of the wicked ones, supported by brutal force.
Robbers, he says, are far less dangerous than a well-organized government. He makes a searching criticism of the prejudices which are current now concerning the benefits conferred upon men by the church, the state, and the existing distribution of property, and from the teachings of Jesus he deduces the rule of non-resistance and the absolute condemnation of all wars. His religious arguments are, however, so well combined with arguments borrowed from a dispassionate observation of the present evils, that the anarchist portions of his works appeal to the religious and the non-religious reader alike.
He was harshly critical of the atrocities committed by the Russians, Germans, Americans, Japanese, and other western troops. He accused them of engaging in slaughter when he heard about the lootings, rapes, and murders, in what he saw as Christian brutality. The attack on China in the Boxer Rebellion was railed against by Tolstoy.
Leo Tolstoy
To the Chinese people , an epistle, was written by Tolstoy as part of the criticism of the war by intellectuals in Russia. Chinese Wisdom was a text written by Tolstoy. The Boxer Rebellion stirred Tolstoy's interest in Chinese philosophy. In hundreds of essays over the last 20 years of his life, Tolstoy reiterated the anarchist critique of the state and recommended books by Kropotkin and Proudhon to his readers, whilst rejecting anarchism's espousal of violent revolutionary means. In the essay, "On Anarchy", he wrote; "The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order, and in the assertion that, without Authority, there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions.
They are mistaken only in thinking that Anarchy can be instituted by a revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power There can be only one permanent revolution—a moral one: Tolstoy was enthused by the economic thinking of Henry George , incorporating it approvingly into later works such as Resurrection , the book that played a major factor in his excommunication. In , Tolstoy wrote A Letter to a Hindu [61] outlining his belief in non-violence as a means for India to gain independence from British colonial rule.
In , a copy of the letter was read by Gandhi, who was working as a lawyer in South Africa at the time and just becoming an activist. Tolstoy's letter was significant for Gandhi, who wrote Tolstoy seeking proof that he was the real author, leading to further correspondence between them. Reading Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You also convinced Gandhi to avoid violence and espouse nonviolent resistance , a debt Gandhi acknowledged in his autobiography, calling Tolstoy "the greatest apostle of non-violence that the present age has produced".
The correspondence between Tolstoy and Gandhi would only last a year, from October until Tolstoy's death in November , but led Gandhi to give the name Tolstoy Colony to his second ashram in South Africa. Tolstoy also became a major supporter of the Esperanto movement. Tolstoy was impressed by the pacifist beliefs of the Doukhobors and brought their persecution to the attention of the international community, after they burned their weapons in peaceful protest in He aided the Doukhobors in migrating to Canada. Towards the end of his life, Tolstoy become more and more occupied with the economic theory and social philosophy of Georgism.
And it is impossible to do otherwise with his teaching, for he who becomes acquainted with it cannot but agree.
Some assume that this development in Tolstoy's thinking was a move away from his anarchist views, since Georgism requires a central administration to collect land rent and spend it on infrastructure. However, anarchist versions of Georgism have also been proposed since. It suggests the possibility of small communities with some form of local governance to manage the collective land rents for common goods; whilst still heavily criticising institutions of the state such as the justice system.
Tolstoy died in , at the age of Just prior to his death, his health had been a concern of his family, who were actively engaged in his care on a daily basis. During his last few days, he had spoken and written about dying. Renouncing his aristocratic lifestyle, he had finally gathered the nerve to separate from his wife, and left home in the middle of winter, in the dead of night.
She was outspokenly opposed to many of his teachings, and in recent years had grown envious of the attention which it seemed to her Tolstoy lavished upon his Tolstoyan "disciples". Tolstoy died of pneumonia [73] at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south. He was given injections of morphine and camphor. The police tried to limit access to his funeral procession, but thousands of peasants lined the streets. Still, some were heard to say that, other than knowing that "some nobleman had died", they knew little else about Tolstoy.
According to some sources, Tolstoy spent the last hours of his life preaching love, nonviolence, and Georgism to his fellow passengers on the train. Both performers were nominated for Oscars for their roles. There is also a famous lost film of Tolstoy made a decade before he died. Beveridge , the U. As the three men conversed, Holmes filmed Tolstoy with his mm movie camera. Afterwards, Beveridge's advisers succeeded in having the film destroyed, fearing that documentary evidence of a meeting with the Russian author might hurt Beveridge's chances of running for the U.
