"Art" - Ch. 3

Oh DEAR LORD. Tolstoy you are killing me. With your unassailable mountain of knowlege. Chapter three is the aesthetic equivalent to stephen hawking's "A Breif History of Time." You understand 5% of it and it blows your mind. Well, I'm not sure my mind was blown, come to think of it, but it definitely experienced a buffer overflow. Gonna hafta re-read this chapter after i finish the book. Basically Tolstoy just delineates every important theory of aesthetics up until the 20th century. Its too much to grasp. Too much subtle difference between the four philosophies that sound the same. Too much trying to reconcile what you think with all of this. Its like trying to put together a 500 piece puzzle by throwing the pieces at each other in mid-air. not likely.

You don't know how much I enjoyed that analogy about the puzzle.

Tolstoy is amazing. He does hurt your head though. Kudos for taking on the bible of sorts
