Leo TolstoyHow do we know what we should teach? And how should we go about teaching it? These deceptively simple questions about education perplexed Tolstoy. Before writing his famous novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Tolstoy opened an experimental school on his estate to try and answer them. His experiences there incited his life-long inquiry into the meaning and purpose of religion, literature, art and life itself. In this text, Daniel Moulin tells the story of the course of Tolstoy's educational thought, and how it relates to Tolstoy's fiction and other writings. It begins with his experience of being a child and adolescent, incorporates his travels in Europe, the experimental school, his literature, and his views on art, philosophy, and spirituality. Throughout, the relevance and impact of Tolstoy's thinking on education are translated into applicable theory for today's education students. |

Much of the book is given over to a vivid description of the emotional experience of learning. Little attention is paid to the subject content of lessons in favor of a thorough examination of the inner psychology of the young narrator.

Rather than his formal education, Nicholas' experience of the natural world and his inner reflections provide the real drive of his learning and development. For example, a whole chapter of Boyhood is devoted to the passing of a storm.
