Description
Excerpt from Echoes of Myself: Romantic Studies of the Human Soul
IN order to give a definite idea Of the tendency and character of the following echoes Of my Inner World, I wish to say a few words Of intro duction. Not only am I a firm believer in the theory, already expressed by Leo Tolstoi, that the beautiful is dependent upon the moral factor and has no practical value independent thereof, but I go a step farther and say, that all real progress in art proceeds not merely from the combination of the ethical with the aesthetic, but rather from the union of these two with science, which, according to the Opinion Of Tolstoi is super?uous when one is properly settled in ethics and aesthetics. Tolstoi, therefore, preaches a return to primitive simplicity, a return to rustic nature.
