The finished book can be abstracted as follows.\nBeginning with T olstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre\, the anthology assembl es seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of hi s life\, from 1835 to 1910. It constitutes the most complete single-volum e edition to date of the rich variety of Tolstoy’s philosophical output: a pothegmatic sayings\, visions\, intimate sketchbook and day notes\, book r eviews\, open letters\, dialogues\, pedagogic talks\, public lectures\, pr ograms and rules for personal behavior\, fictions\, and reminiscences.\n \nIt was the insolvable\, the “scandalous\,” problems of philosophy that n ever gave Tolstoy any rest: freedom of the will\, religious tolerance\, ge nder inequality\, the tonal shape of music\, the value of healthy life hab its\, the responsibilities of teaching\, forms of social protest\, cogniti ve development\, science in society\, the relation between body and mind\, charity and labor\, human dignity and public service\, sexual psychology\ , national war doctrines\, suicide\, individual sacrifice\, the purposes o f making art. And always: What are the sources of violence? Why should we engage in politics? Why do we need governments? How can one practice non- violence? What is the meaning of our irrepressible desire to seek and find meaning? Why can’t we live without loving? The typeset proofs of his fina l insights were brought to Tolstoy for approval when he was already on his deathbed. No matter their brevity or the occasion on which they were writ ten\, these works exemplify Tolstoy as an artistically inventive and intel lectually absorbing thinker.\n \nMost of the newly translated and thorough ly annotated texts have never been available in English. Among the notabl e archival restorations is the text titled “Tolstoy on Venezuela\,” an aut hentic first publication in English of “Patriotism\, or Peace?” (1896) tha t had been personally checked by Tolstoy and deemed lost. In the inaugural piece\, a seven-year-old Tolstoy describes violent but natural animal lif e in contrast with the lazy life of a peaceful barnyard in the countryside . The last entry in the anthology written by an eighty-year-old Tolstoy fo r his grandchildren provides a lesson on vegetarianism and non-violence th at a hungry wolf teaches a hungry boy during their conversation when both are on their way to lunch.\n \nThe anthology was being copyedited when Rus sia invaded Ukraine on February 24\, 2022. After having provided the neces sary grounding for Tolstoy’s place within the Russian philosophical tradit ion and explaining his overall reception and standing\, the speaker will c omment on the implications of this unfolding historic tragedy for the curr ent moment and the future\, in order to then open the floor for general di scussion.\n \nAbout the speaker:\nInessa Medzhibovskaya has taught at The New School since 2004. She is an intellectual historian\, philologist\, s pecialist in international education\, and a literary scholar by training and is currently Professor of Liberal Studies and Literature at The New Sc hool for Social Research and Eugene Lang College.
