Sinopsis

WHAT thoughtful man has not been perplexed by problems relating to art?

An estimable and charming Russian lady I knew, felt the charm of the music and ritual of the services of the Russo-Greek Church so strongly that she wished the peasants, in whom she was interested, to retain their blind faith, though she herself disbelieved the church doctrines.

"Their lives are so poor and bare-they have so little art, so little poetry and colour in their lives- Let them at least enjoy what they have; it would be cruel to undeceive them," said she. A false and antiquated view of life is supported by means of art, and is inseparably linked to some Manifestations of art which we enjoy and prize. If the false view of life be destroyed this art will cease to appear valuable.

Is it best to screen the error for the sake of preserving the art? Or should the art be sacrificed for the sake of truthfulness? Again and again in history a dominant church has utilised art to maintain its sway over men. Reformers (early Christians, Mohammedans, Puritans, and others) have perceived that art bound people to the old faith, and they were angry with art.

These works, in chronological order,are " My Confession ".
A Criticism of Dogmatic Theology,which has never been translated.
The Four Gospels Harmonised and Translated, of which only two parts, out of three, have as yet appeared in English. What I Believe, sometimes called My Religion.

The Gospelin Brief. What are we to do then? sometimes called in English

What to do? On Life, which is not an easy work in the original, and has not been satisfactorily translated. The Kingdom of God is within you; and The Christian Teaching, which appeared after What is Art? though it was written before it.

To these scientific works I am inclined to add The Kteutzer Sonata, with the Sequel or Postscript explaining its purpose; for though The Kreutzer Sonata is a story, the understanding of sexual problems, dealt with explicitly in the Sequel, is an integral part of that comprehension of life which causes Tolstoy to admire Christ, Buddha, or Francis of Assisi.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson's Spiritual Laws is more than an essay—it's an invitation to align with the rhythm of the universe. With clarity and poetic force, Emerson strips away illusions of control, urging us to trust the quiet power within.
    For him, law isn't rigid or imposed; it's a natural flow, always present, waiting to be recognized. True self-reliance isn't defiance but harmony with this deeper order. The world moves for those who walk with conviction. The awakened soul follows a path beyond logic, yet never loses its way.
    Emerson doesn't instruct; he sparks something. He challenges us to trust our instincts, see beyond the immediate, and embrace the grand design at play.
    Part of his groundbreaking Essays: First Series, Spiritual Laws remains a timeless call to authenticity. Step into its pages, and you may just step into yourself.

    Since the latter part of the twentieth century, breakthroughs in science, like advancements in brain imaging, have sparked a growing fascination with the intersection of emotions and neurobiology. Researchers have come to acknowledge the close connection between the brain and the immune system, the detrimental impact of chronic stress on the human body, and the significant correlation between emotions and health issues such as heart disease. 
    Before this scientific awakening, there was an undue emphasis on academic intelligence by researchers. This bias ignored the reality that intelligence is not a reliable predictor of success and happiness. Instead, emotional intelligence emerges as a more accurate indicator of life trajectory. It encompasses psychological resilience, the ability to persevere in the face of challenges, impulse control, and social skills like empathy. 
    Contrary to earlier beliefs that emotional intelligence was an inherent trait, recent research has revealed it to be a capacity rather than an absolute characteristic. Nevertheless, the formative stage for emotional intelligence is primarily in early childhood. A baby receiving nurturing care is more likely to develop a positive outlook, while a neglected baby may struggle with challenges later in life. Although tendencies toward optimism or pessimism take root early, they can still evolve later on, influenced by one's social network, as emotions tend to be contagious. 
    It's crucial to recognize that complete control over emotions is not feasible. Emotions are a result of the brain processing external feedback and are not consciously regulated. However, individuals can control how they respond to their emotions. The initial step in effective emotional management is being aware of one's emotions, forming the foundation for emotional intelligence.

    Nihilism - The Philosophy of...

    Nihilism is often misunderstood as mere pessimism or despair, yet it is far more complex than a simple rejection of hope. At its core, nihilism is the philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. This perspective challenges the foundations of morality, knowledge, and existence itself, questioning whether anything possesses objective significance. While nihilism can evoke feelings of emptiness and disillusionment, it can also serve as a liberating force, stripping away illusions and compelling individuals to forge their own meaning. 
    The term "nihilism" originates from the Latin word "nihil," meaning "nothing." Though traces of nihilistic thought can be found in ancient skepticism, it was in the 19th century that the philosophy gained prominence. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared the "death of God," arguing that traditional religious and moral values had lost their authority. He warned that without these guiding structures, society risked falling into despair and meaninglessness. However, Nietzsche did not advocate surrendering to nihilism but instead sought a way to overcome it through the creation of new values. Russian nihilists of the same era took a different approach, rejecting societal norms and advocating for radical change, often through extreme means. Their interpretation of nihilism fueled revolutionary movements, demonstrating its potential to inspire both destruction and transformation.  
    Nihilism manifests in various forms, from existential and moral nihilism to epistemological and political nihilism. Existential nihilism is perhaps the most well-known, asserting that life has no ultimate purpose or inherent meaning. This idea has been explored by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who wrestled with the absurdity of existence.
