While philosophy has for a long time been interested in the liberative aspects of politics, including justice, liberty or equality, and there are also major philosophical works on the culture of play, the topic of work seems to have escaped philosophy's primary focus. This is surprising as since the middle of the 19th century the world of work has been at the centre of political struggle and social conflict. This collection of essays on how major European thinkers have conceptualised work aims to fill this gap and provides the first concise, yet substantial history of philosophical ideas about work.  \u003cem\u003eThe Concept of Work in the History of European Philosophy \u003c\/em\u003eis essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students of the history of philosophy. It is also ideal for scholars in related fields such as organisational theory and the history of economic thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Callahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031965469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031965463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gene Callahan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474338103551,"sku":"9783031965463","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8f4041e-5ae5-472e-bc5e-e54d6cf29241.jpg?v=1762316212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-concept-of-work-in-gene-callahan-9783031965463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
