Synopsis "philosophy and the problems of work: a reader (in English)"

Philosophy and the Problems of Work brings together for the first time important philosophical perspectives on the subjects of labor and work, spanning analytical and Continental traditions. This comprehensive collection engages contemporary debates in political theory and the philosophy of economics, including the perspectives of classical and welfare liberals, anarchists, and feminists, about the nature and meaning of work in modern technological society, the issues of meaningful work and exploitation, justice and equality, the welfare state and democratic rights, and whether market socialism is a competitive alternative to traditional capitalism. An introduction by the editor charts the historical development of these issues in philosophical and political discussions and examines the central importance of the organization and structures of work for both individual self-realization and human societies generally.Philosophy and the Problems of Work brings together for the first time important philosophical perspectives on the subjects of labor and work, spanning analytical and Continental traditions.

(Hannover, Alemania, 1906 - Nueva York, Estados Unidos, 1975) Arendt se ha erigido, como uno de los puntos de referencia fundamentales para el conocimiento de la filosofía política. Nacida en Hannover, estudió en Marburgo, Friburgo y Heidelberg, donde se graduó en Filosofía. En 1933, cuando los nazis ocuparon el poder, emigró a París. Más tarde se instaló en Estados Unidos, donde dirigió la Conferencia sobre las Relaciones Judías (1944-1946) y también la Jewish Cultural Reconstruction Inc. Fue catedrática en la Universidad de Chicago y enseñó asimismo en Columbia, Princeton y Berkeley.
