A landmark collection of political and moral philosophy, On Civil Disobedience and Non-Violence gathers for the first time the prophetic writings of Leo Tolstoy, the celebrated author of War and Peace. Tolstoy argues with passionate conviction that the state's authority is fundamentally corrupt and that true moral progress demands peaceful resistance over armed conflict. These essays present a radical spiritual and ethical framework that directly influenced later giants of nonviolent resistance, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. The writings speak with urgent relevance to the crises of modern society, illustrating that the principles of conscience and noncooperation with unjust power remain as vital today as when they were first penned.
