Debates on the centrality of work

Meaningful Work

by Veltman, Andrea (2016)

Abstract

[From publisher] This work develops the view that meaningful work is central in human flourishing. The author defends a pluralistic account of what makes work meaningful, arguing that work can be meaningful in virtue of developing capabilities, supporting virtues, providing a purpose, or integrating elements of a worker's life.
