Title
CHAPTER 4: Tolstoy's Social-Religious Teaching: Presentiments of the Twentieth Century.
Abstract
The article discusses that Russian writers Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy's ideas concerning the 'root of evil' are opposed. Tolstoy had never exaggerated the importance of the intelligentsia. However, Dostoevsky did not see it as the source of evil with its ideological manipulations of consciousness, encouraged by the state and its institutions, the church, the arts, and the sciences.
