Over dit e-boek
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. In "Patriotism and Government", Tolstoy critically evaluates the concept of patriotism and its implications for governance. He advocates for a universal love for humanity over blind state loyalty. The essay provides reflections on the role of citizens in shaping governments and emphasizes the moral responsibility to resist injustice. It continues to be relevant in modern political ethics discussions.
