So im trying to build my own philosophy and id like to share a part of what I have come up with so far. Philosophy is a living being that is always growing by 'feeding' on feedback, so feel free give some.

The creation and perpetuation of cultures and institutions depend on an accumulation of wealth or more simply the raw materials a community needs to survive(their basic 'needs'), whatever that may be. What determins how much wealth or materials is needed depends on the type of culture pursued. Philosophy, the arts and religion/mythology/ritual in their most pure and True forms require little to no money. Other types of what claims to be "high-culture" or civilized culture-- space research of ultra modern psysics, maximization of production of agriculture, or economic growth -- cost a lot of money and are remote from the real 'needs' of man. That is not to say math, science and the like are not to be pursued; but at what point do the advancements of science become an excess of luxary or even unneeded?


Are the needs of man solely materal? spiritual? both? and which should be pursued individually or in our society/culture?

I would argue that the basic material needs for a comfortable survival are the highest and first needs that need to be met. We live in a material world thus making it the primary need. After the basic needs have been reasonably meet the intelectual, emotional, spiritual, and all around mental needs need nurturing.

Check out Maslow's hierarchy of needs if you haven't already.
