Tolstoy was looking for answers beyond the scope of science. He wasn't satisfied that science was unable to answer his questions, that being the purpose of his life.
"In general the relation of the experimental sciences to life's question may be expressed thus: Question: "Why do I live?" Answer: "In infinite space, in infinite time, infinitely small particles change their forms in infinite complexity, and when you have under stood the laws of those mutations of form you will understand why you live on the earth." ~~Chapter 5.
