[9] WPratt: Ok first of all I know absolutely nothing about Marx and so far the reading
is definitely not looking to be easy to follow throughout the semester, but
here is my attempt at Q2. The reading states that Marx means “material”
wealth, or things that enhance human life. This may be an obvious or
oversimplified view, which I would be interested in any feedback on from
those on the email distribution, but it seems clear to me that “good health”
is something that enhances human life among numerous other possibilities.
With that said, happiness cannot be the only wealth. Whether happiness is
the only “true” wealth is in my opinion, relative to the individual
answering the question. Happiness cannot be bought or sold, and one person's
happiness can be something completely different for another person. So in
summary I would have to say that happiness is not the only true wealth.
Thoughts or feedback anyone? |
