Materialism


Materialism sees ideas and values as emerging from social practices and ways in which society is organised. Ideas are not universal and timeless but change as ways of living change. The idea of human equality becomes possible only within capitalist framework. The picture above shows a capitalist lady. She has a materialistic mind as we can notice from the way she is dressed and the little dog in hand. She is a victim of materialism. Thus. for materialism, our social existence is not defined as what we believe is true. This will distinguish the past from the future as the future is going to be different, better and maybe more exciting.
