Tolstoyanism

Tolstoyanism is a philosophical and ethical movement inspired by Leo Tolstoy, emphasizing spiritual development, nonviolence, and simple living. It advocates for a life guided by moral principles derived from Christianity, especially love and compassion, rather than material wealth or societal status. Tolstoyans often reject institutional religion and seek personal, direct spiritual experience. The movement encourages ethical action, pacifism, and community-based living, urging individuals to live authentically and morally according to their conscience. Overall, it promotes a peaceful, humble approach to life focused on moral integrity and the pursuit of true spiritual fulfillment.
