Leo Tolstoy believed that art was not only a means of entertainment or personal expression, but also a powerful tool for communicating truth and inspiring moral action. He rejected the idea that art should be judged solely on its aesthetic qualities and instead argued that its value lies in its ability to arouse emotions and convey ethical messages.
In this video, we delve deeper into Leo Tolstoy's philosophy of art and explore his views on the nature of creativity. We discuss his theory of the contagiousness of art, which states that good art must be able to move its audience and inspire them to moral action. We also examine his critiques of conventional art forms, such as theater and opera, and his advocacy of popular art, which he saw as more authentic and socially significant.
