Is work as we know it disappearing? And if so why should we care?
These questions are explored by Raymond Geuss in this compact but
sweeping survey which integrates conceptual analysis, historical
reflection, autobiography and social commentary. Geuss explores our
concept of work and its origins in industrial production, the
incentives and compulsions which societies use to get us to work,
and the powerful hold which the work ethic has over so many of us.
He also looks at dissatisfaction with work - which is as old as
work itself - and at various radical proposals for doing away with
it, and at the seemingly irreversible growth of unemployment as a
result of mechanisation. His book will interest anyone who wishes
to understand the place of work in our world. This new series
offers short and personal perspectives by expert thinkers on topics
that we all encounter in our everyday lives.
