If you read the confessions to its end you will find that Tolstoy comes to quite a different conclusion to that which he starts out with. So by the end of the book he proably strongly objects to the 4 types of people binary. However his salvation is in God, so treat it as you may. I certainly found the book worth while reading along side Albert Camus the myth of sisyphus. Both this books a generally dismissed by philosophers, but i find them to be of great value because they teach us, each in its own way, reasons for living. Reasons to continue living in this absurd world. Without a reason to live the rest of philosophy seesm to fall away, which is probably why Camus said that there is only one serious philosophical question, suicide.
