Klappentext zu „From Universal Laws to Historicity of Knowledge “
The Realist interpretation of 'War and Peace' -articulated by Martin Wight and Stanley Hoffmann - isbased on Tolstoy's understanding of history as it iselaborated in his account of the Napoleonic invasionin the second epilogue of the book. There Tolstoyputs forward a mechanistic view of internationalrelations which are assumed to be governed byinexorable laws of history determining humanbehaviour and limiting man's exercise of free will.However, Tolstoy's subjection of man to the workingsof impenetrable laws of history in the secondepilogue is at variance with a multiplicity ofconscious moral choices that his three maincharacters - Nikolay Rostov, Andrey Bolkonsky andPierre Bezukhov - make throughout the book. It isargued that the different treatment of the freedomvs. necessity problem in the fictional and historicalnarrative can only be understood contextually, i.e.from within Tolstoy' rejection of the Enlightenmenttradition of scientific and moral inquiry.
