The Positive Outcome of Philosophy

Excerpt from The Positive Outcome of PhilosophyIn times of primitive communism, the conditions of production were clear and easily understood.

Things were produced jointly for use and consumed in common. Man was master of his mode of production and thus master of his own fate as far as the superior forces of na ture admitted it. Under such conditions, social ideas could not help being simple and clear.

There being no clash between persona and social interests, men had 110 conception of a deep chasm between good and bad. Only the uncontrolled forces of nature stood like unintel ligible and mysterious powers, that appeared to them either as well meaning or as evil spirits, above these primi tive little societies.
