  • Leo (Lev) Tolstoy, author of classics such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina", is not considered as an existentialist writer. In this video I take Leo Tolstoy's "Confessions" and "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" for an existential spin and discuss the phenomenon of existential dread : )
    Music by Garbanotas; Footage from Jonas Mekas

      That is incredible! I am glad you left a comment, it gives me a lot of meaning and purpose when I am making each video to know that there is an actual person on the other end paying attention:) With the internet it is easy to forget that and just see the numbers

    Title: "The philosophy of Tolstoy"
    *Proceeds to briefly talk about Tolstoy and then go on a rant about the problem of existence*

    Nice reading friend. Thank you.
    But I do agree with others: fix the title. Should be more aligned. Will make this stronger. Thank you again.

    Unlike your Camus video; this one is decent.

    I've found the answers that you and all philosophers knowingly seek, and that absolutely all humans seek - whether or not they know it. The Meaning of Life. And no, it's nothing you've heard as yet! But Leo Tolstoy was definitely on the correct path, when you understand his deepest of understandings. And it is indeed very "good news." The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies. If you want to know more, click and ye shall find.

      Isn't that funny- you want to learn from others what life is, as if you were dead- are you dead/have you ever experienced being so?! How can you expect to learn about life from hearsay, i.e., finding in books what means to be alive/that which you already are- life itself?!
