Samenvatting:

Published in France in 1893, The Kingdom of God is within You is the most important of Leo Tolstoy's philosophical-religious works. It is a text that exerted a decisive influence on Gandhi and still holds great interest today, not only because it constitutes a fundamental building block for understanding the thought of one of the greatest writers of all time, but also because of its close analysis of the relationship between power and violence and the mechanisms of derangement that lead one to accept a violent and oppressive social system, and even to actively participate in it.
