Personally encouraging, it is also a criticism of the Russian Orthodox Church of Tolstoy's time. So, it is psychology but also history. The myth of modernity is exposed by the red meat thinking of an excellent thinker. That for about a thousand years, the Church was the only game in town meant that for that same amount of time the best minds were working on it. Before medicine came in pill form the quality of your interior was held in higher esteem.
