A Book on Science, Ethics, and Politics

In "On Science, Morality, and Politics" (في العلم والأخلاق والسياسة), Leo Tolstoy delivers a searing critique of modern civilization's reliance on technical progress and political power detached from moral principles. Tolstoy examines how scientific advancement, when divorced from human ethics, often serves the interests of power rather than alleviating human suffering. He forcefully challenges statecraft and political ideologies that justify coercion and inequality in the name of order or progress. According to Tolstoy, true knowledge and political authority must be anchored in universal moral principles: love, justice, and human dignity. Written with Tolstoy's trademark moral clarity and unyielding honesty, the book serves as a timeless call to align intellectual pursuit and social organization with the higher spiritual and ethical duties of humanity.

Because it presents a profound critique of modern progress, encouraging readers to re-evaluate the ultimate purpose of science, power, and human society through an ethical lens.

For lovers of Russian philosophy, political science scholars, fans of Tolstoy’s non-fiction works, and readers interested in ethics, social criticism, and humanistic philosophy.
