What Is Art? by Leo Tolstoy
5.0
I think I'm pretty thoroughly a postmodernist. I think a world of many truths, and myriad art, is a more beautiful world. Tolstoy quite passionately disagrees. And even though art, and my view of it, is central to my identity, his piercing philosophy of art deeply shook me. A fantastic read! He goes hard against basically all of art, religion, and a bonus subject in the conclusion that was surprising to me, but well set up. Is there more philosophy this entertaining?!
N.B. Boy, does Tolstoy hate Wagner!
