The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Social Philosophy: International Labor Day

Today is the day that a number of groups on the left have proclaimed to be International Labor Day. I honor this day with the ironic caveat that as I salute all people in the world who have to work for a living, I explicitly reject all Bolshevik ideas of anti-property. I salute workers (everyone from the laborer to the professional) around the world because we want the opportunity to partake of God's provision for our families and any providence He might give to us who work to gain capital for helping the Kingdom, others, and ourselves.

Let me pose a few questions:

If you do not have economic freedom, do you really have freedom?

Have you exploited without fair renumeration anyone who has worked for you?

Have you been exploited without fair renumeration by anyone for whom you have worked?

When Jesus returns will He find just dealing among His people?
