Herder's Philosophy in the Context of L.N. Tolstoy's Epic War and Peace
Tolstoy's history is very close to the philosophy of Herder's history. The connection of the two theories can be explained by typological closeness and direct influence of the German thinker on the Russian writer. Herder's evident contaminations, on the other hand, allowed the writer to open up the essence of the Russian national character during the Napoleon's epoch.
