What Tolstoy's short story shows us, the author argues, is that life can be truly liberated through death only when we see that death is neither a supernatural event nor a natural end but involves a work of love. In Part 1 of his study, the author addresses the common assumptions that give rise to the idea that religious and secular views of life and death are opposed in modernity. He also examines the history of values that Tolstoy's story embodies. In Part 2, he analyses the life and death of Ivan Ilyich in order to show that the values that are embedded in Tolstoy's story are at once religious and secular. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aChristian philosophy 606 $aLiterature 606 $aPhilosophy of Literature 606 $aChristian Philosophy 606 $aLiterature 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aChristian philosophy. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Literature. 615 24$aChristian Philosophy. 615 24$aLiterature. 676 $a809.933548 676 $a891.733 700 $aHoult$b Jason$01250862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910583503703321 996 $aThe Liberation of Life Through Death$92899574 997 $aUNINA
