Nietzsche does also offer some conclusions that would seem to go against the value of noble morality such as in (Genealogy, I §17) where he talks about how Napoleon is the perfect example of the problems that occur with the noble morality with its brutal nature. These criticisms suggest as (Kaufmann, 1974, p.297) puts it that “it does not follow from Nietzsche 's "vivisection" of slave morality that he identifies his own position with that of the masters” but rather that he focuses more on the…

uses an equation to demonstrate the concept of exchange value, which is X of commodity A = Y of commodity B. This equation demonstrates that the exchange value of a commodity appears when two commodities are exchanged and both of their use-value equate. The X and Y variables in this equation represent quantity. This demonstrates that although the quantity can differ, the use-value could still be equal, giving each commodity an exchange value. For example, twenty pieces of cotton could equal one…

Adam Smith and Karl Marx on the Division of Labor and the Role of Money in Exchange In their works, Adam Smith and Karl Marx prove to have differing opinions on money and the division of labor. Although they understand money as a representation of value and as a medium of exchange, they arrive at different conclusions about the role of money in social life. Smith sees the division of labor as a constructive system and a means of furthering exchange, leading to the use of money. Marx, on the…

Wage – Labour and capital are factors that affect each and every one of us on a daily basis, whether you’re the capitalist or a part of the working class. For the most part, capital not only starts the day you’re born, but continues on throughout your life. This drastically influences the likability of success and determines whether you’ll be part of the working class or part of the upper class, which is considered to be the capitalist. In the article we see the differences between the…

have theorized that the value is a function of a worker’s labor. In Capital Volume One, Karl Marx illuminates this idea and adds nuances to it, explaining underlying relationships between labor and value. Namely, Marx introduces the concept of socially necessary labor-time and uses it as a point of departure for considering the links between labor, value, and material wealth. In Capital, Marx elucidates the intrinsic role of socially necessary labor-time in a commodity’s value, then uses his…

According to the Value Theory there are two general kinds of values; instrumental value or intrinsic value. In John Mill’s argument, he argues that things having intrinsic value should be what we pursue in life to live a good one. In particular Mill’s term happiness as being the only intrinsically value. Mill’s defines happiness being intrinsically valuable, because it is valuable within itself and not for its use; which matches the definition for something to hold intrinsic value. I will…

It is not by chance this problem exists in rock music. Fisher wrote extensively about these types of problems in his essay. Fisher noted that rock challenges the traditional thinking about an objective aesthetic value, and that its creation present problems for the question of authenticity in music.1 Fisher proposes that recorded music has its own separate ontology that must be taken into account, if we are to talk about authenticity issues in music. Recordings have specific sound events that…

maintain and grow his legal practice. Relinquishing his stigma did not however remove the awareness that Marx had in regard to the construct of society and classes. This awareness spurned a series of political, social, and, perceived, radical ideals and theories that made him an enemy of many land; including his homeland of Prussia. Keenly affected by the mistreatment of the poor by the government and peasant…

First, looking at capitalism being a limitation this is considered the ‘great problem’ in the Marxist school (HET). The reason being that the capitalist system allows labor to be exploited. Karl Marx explains through his labor theory that there is an important distinction between labor power, amount of labor that is necessary to produce subsistence, and labor time, the amount actually worked (HET). This idea then explains how capitalist make a surplus and thus profit, which is…
