In his last years Leo Tolstoy has composed some compilations of aphoristic wisdom. The culmination of this last period of work was 'The way of life' from the year 1910, the year of Tolstoy’s death. Therein Tolstoy found a special language of wisdom, which has arisen out from his mystical religious thinking and the expressionistic extremes in his moralistic tracts, such as 'Truth and deception', 'God an man', 'Spirit and flesh', 'Women and man', 'Life and death'. As wisdom Tolstoy’s thinking has developed to some practice of religious meditation. Holger Kuße investigates Tolstoy’s thinking in extremes, his language of moral, his mystical thinking and, as a result, his language of wisdom. It shows not only Tolstoy’s particular philosophy, but also the forms of expression, in which the famous Russian writer proves himself as a provocative modern thinker for our times.In his second part Kuße presents a selection of aphorisms, thoughts and ideas from 'The way of life'.>
