Opinion

In the "Content" section, the following words appear: "This faith could be interpreted as a Kierkegaardian leap, or a disingenuous compromise, but Tolstoy actually seems to be describing a more Eastern approach to what God is." Is this sentence completely subjective and a mere expression of some Wikipedia editor's own personal opinion?96.248.101.32 (talk) 04:22, 18 April 2018 (UTC)De Mikeal Carter[reply]

A trivial pursuit?

The first sentence of the article asserts that Tolstoy’s work was "…on the subject of melancholia…." This statement may result in a reader having the notion that the book is about a mere passing subjective mood. As a result, it would be dismissive and would trivialize Tolstoy’s words. On the contrary, Tolstoy’s writing may be a rare, profound, objective insight into the essence of life. Wittgenstein, for one, thought it to be so. The Wikipedia article should not include an evaluation of Tolstoy’s research.96.248.101.32 (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2018 (UTC)Andre Brown[reply]
