The article considers two positions from which the contradictions of leo
Tolstoy’s consciousness were described in Soviet philosophy of the 1950s
and 1960s. On the one hand, Tolstoy is presented within a constant, albeit
uneven, discussion between formalists and Marxists. On the other hand, special
attention is paid to the opposition of the archaic and the modern, considered
in the article «Tolstoy’s worldview» by Soviet philosopher Valentin Asmus
who used programmatic works of Vladimir lenin on Tolstoy’s «screaming
contradictions» as a methodology. The author also presents Tolstoy’s own
position, stating that his thinking is built not on contradictions, but in the form
of an antinomy between noumenally understood freedom, immortality, ethics
and the phenomenal limitation of historical progress, in the manner of Hegelian
evolutionism.
