Discussion Prompts (Recycled from last year)
- In order to define the laws of history, we must admit that humans do not possess free will. This is my understanding of Tolstoy's concluding argument. Do you agree?
- Are you satisfied with this ending or do you feel it is anticlimactic?
- Now that we are finished did you enjoy the book? Marks out of 10?
Final line of today's chapter:
... In the first case it was necessary to renounce the consciousness of an unreal immobility in space and to recognize a motion we did not feel; in the present case it is similarly necessary to renounce a freedom that does not exist, and to recognize a dependence of which we are not conscious.
