A quotation from Russell, Bertrand:
«««««
Religions, which condemn the pleasures of senses, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history, power has been the vice of the ascetic.

🪦#Tolstoy died today in 1910. His #politicalthought is still relevant & alive today. Here's my book on it: https://sites.google.com/site/christoyannopoulos/publications/tolstoys-political-thought-christian-anarcho-pacifist-iconoclasm #anarchism #pacifism #anticlericalism
Core chapters explore T’s #pacifism, #anarchism, #anticlericalism, #asceticism & #nonviolent #activism. Each time first systematising T (with plenty of poignant quotes), then discussing criticisms of his views, then reflecting on relevance since.
Hardback expensive, paperback and ebook cheaper, but also shorter chapter-length summary #free (#openaccess) & available here: https://www.stockholmuniversitypress.se/site/chapters/e/10.16993/bbb.c/

Routine, rigor and discipline are the drumbeat of my days, granting a rhythm to this strange and mercurial dance we call mortal life...
