One wonders what would be the end of it all. It does seem appropriate to question the antics of those who seem hell bent of wreaking the effects of political expediency on human survival... Especially those which wither away after a heavy down pour of political fallout. What can we make of such creatures ? These origins can be found from the oldest of scriptures. Maybe it started off as a meditation tool for attaining self realization. But we are painfully cognizant of the fact that all different forms of these unsavory events are believed to affect various chakras. However, there is little mention of these esoteric beliefs among aficionados who discuss these nether matters while sipping their cup of wine, and intoxicant and mendicant to soothe their own brains. The first treatise laying down these fundamental principles are still in existence, though available mainly to an elite audience.
This philosophy of assumptions, foundations, and implications is defined by an interest in one of a set of "traditional" problems or an interest in central or foundational concerns. We can certainly justify using contemporary results in science to draw philosophical morals. While most practitioners are philosophers, several prominent scientists have (and do) contribute to this most rewarding field of human endeavour.
The central driving force of capitalism, according to Marx, was also in consonance with what was expounded by Engels. In the exploitation and alienation of music, and the human plebeians, the ultimate source of the new profits and value-added was that the market forces put paid to all claims of fair play, and the jurisdictional conflicts that was not anticipated by our founding fathers. This is worrying indeed. What if the value of the product exceeded that market value. Would that entitle one to appropriate the new regions, as if they were his own ?
However, we are very concerned with the social aspects of this repudiation of values. How and under what circumstances can the anesthetic impact of such economic mollycoddling be justified, especially looking from the moral high ground ? It is an object useful to somebody else, but with a trading value for the owner. Sanctimonious deferral will get us nowhere. Political economy, which was originally thought of as a "moral science" concerned with the just distribution of wealth, or as a "political arithmetic" for tax collection, gave way to the separate disciplines of economic science, law and ethics, as well as geography. Even History could be rewritten.
Alas, we long for the justice that only time can bring.
