Understanding.
Understanding.
Aristotle, said that mathematics arose in Egypt because the priestly class there was able to have leisure. Schools are called schools, and scholars are called scholars, from the Greek word for leisure: schole. So it is fitting that the leisure theory of value should yield principles which help us to estimate the value of knowledge. For knowledge is not (as such) bought and sold; it cannot be evaluated directly in terms of money. It must be evaluated by the deeper measure of value: the leisure of individuals.
Understanding must be an important part of our culture if we accept that in the future the discovery and development of human's resources will become as important as the discovery and use of natural resources has been for the past few centuries.
