The materialist metaphysics of the Marxians misconstrues these things entirely. Production is a spiritual, intellectual, and ideological phenomenon. It is the method that man, directed by reason, employs for the best possible removal of uneasiness. What distinguishes our conditions from those of our ancestors who lived one thousand or twenty thousand years ago is not something material, but something spiritual. The material changes are the outcome of the spiritual changes.
Production is alteration of the given according to the designs of reason.
The popular saying according to which economics deals with the material conditions of human life is entirely mistaken. Human action is a manifestation of the mind. Of course, we do not know what mind is , just as we do not know what motion, life, electricity are . Database Programming, Site Design and Hosting IWDC, Inc.
