POINTS: Up to 50 
DUE: Thursday, July 12
Length: 4-5 pages (800-1,000 words)

Read the following from Marx's German Ideology:  On Idealism and Materialism

(Those who want to read the entire work--fairly short--can go to the
Online text of the German Ideology
The entire work is NOT required and is provided only as a resource for
those who might want to read the entire work).

Read it with this question in mind: What is the source of a Marxian view of 
justice/ethics, and how does it differ from Singer, Plato, and religious views?

In this paper, address this question (in a way that shows you are thinking
about class issues):

What is the basis of a Marxian view of justice? (ie, on what does it rest?).
This excerise is open-ended, and your only obligation (that on which you
will be graded) is to demonstrate that you understand what you've read and
can integrate other themes in the class.
