Yes, the reward of labor is labor and not wealth. And labor for others with the certitude of permanence is the best incentive.

The best minds of Europe are hellbent on creating weapons of death and means of communication. Both are the tools of destruction.

Technological progress is seen in the exploitation of the poor and those who will follow suit. Progress is what is profitable for the individual.

Tolstoy famously despised Wilhelm Wundt and Hegel. Most likely, this was derived from his readings of Schopenhauer.
"The philosophy of Wundt and Hegel - concepts. The refutation of concepts is thoughts. What is his refutation of materialism?"

In religion, some contradictions arise. These contradictions are only possible through God. Tolstoy mentions that our soul after death will be outside of time/space, being both before and after, everywhere, and nowhere. These are the Divine contradictions that I believe in.

I highly recommend that those interested in Tolstoy's political philosophy look at Taixu's "Establishment of the Pure Land in the Human Realm." Taixu was greatly inspired by Tolstoy's Christian anarcho-communism, specifically his book "The Kingdom of God is within You." 1/3

Jordan Peterson, unfortunately, does not understand Nietzsche. On top of that, he gives grossly erroneous interpretations of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Instead, I recommend Lev Shestov's book on Nietzsche and Dostoevsky.

Tolstoy has more philosophical substance compared to Dostoevsky. 1.) Tolstoy wrote a vast amount of nonfiction philosophical essays ranging from metaphysics, ethics, religion, aesthetics, and (most of all) politics. 2.) As Lev Shestov pointed out, Tolstoy was a philosopher first, novelist second. 1/

Tolstoy is great as the spokesman of the ideas and sentiments that emerged among the millions of Russian peasants at the time the bourgeois revolution was approaching in Russia. 1/2

Tolstoy has the interesting view that the Nicene Creed is incompatible with Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. This relates to the long debate on belief versus practice. Tolstoy believed, foremost, in following the law of love and pacifism. Belief came secondary.

The most common misconception or distortion of Nietzsche's philosophy is "power." The far-right attempt to frame it as some sort of physical strength. However, we know from his "Genealogy of Morals" Nietzsche views these types of men as nothing but brutes. 1/2

If you haven't read Friedrich Nietzsche and you are unsure of where to begin, then I suggest you read "Untimely Meditations" proceeded by "Birth of Tragedy," and "Human, all too Human." These books give you a sketch of Nietzsche's starting position. 1/2

What did you read this weekend? A chapter a day keeps the professor away. I've been reading Gustav Shpet's "Appearance and Sense: Phenomenology as the Fundamental Science and its Problems."

Here are a few reasons why one might want to read Arthur Schopenhauer's (1788-1860) "The World as Will and Representation." First, one can view Schopenhauer's philosophy, generally speaking as a synthesis of Plato, Kant, and Dharmic Religions. 1/8

In both psychology and logic cognition figures not in its being, but in its role as means. Our concern is with the study of the being of cognition in its essence, that is as a distinctive kind of being. 1/2
