About this book
Taken from a longer work by Tolstoy, this chapter asks how educated people justify living on the labour of others. He sets out the scientific theory of his day, in which sociology built on biology shows a division of labour in human societies, some doing muscular work and others mental work. He then recalls how Hegelian philosophy dominated learned life when he began his career, and how it vanished after the 1840s without anyone refuting it.
