"Meaningful Work and Market Socialism Revisited"
(2009)
(p.140) Intervening in the market processes to bring about greater satisfaction of the particular preference for meaningful work unfairly privileges certain preferences (and the people to whom they happen to be important) over other preferences (and people), and this is morally wrong. The key point is that there are a great many goods other than meaningful work that people might reasonably pursue via their economic activity. There is no good perfectionist case that meaningful work trumps these other goods, and no good paternalist case that overruling people's own judgements to pursue some mix of goods other than meaningful work would advance...

(p.144) In some range of these cases, a welfarist egalitarian might be able to block the complaint of the frustrated fans of meaningful work from having a claim to extra resources in response to their frustration, on the ground that it is the fault or voluntary choice of the fans that has placed them in this predicament. But in other cases, this excuse compatible with welfarism for declining to intervene will not be available (see Arneson 2000; 2001; 2007). Suppose these people have come to have a need for meaningful work through prudent and responsible conduct of life, so one cannot...

"Virtue and Meaningful Work"
(2012)
(p.434) As one of the principal domains in which experience is organized and self-under standing emerges (Gini 2001, Michaelson 2008), work is critical for agents' ongoing "search for meaning" (Frankl 1959). The question of whether and how work that is also paid employment can be experienced as meaningful in itself is debated within both social psychology and ethics, but largely in isolation from each other. Enquiries in social psychology are thereby denied the resources that might be provided by ethical enquiries for the critique of its findings, whilst ethics, as Aristotelians have long argued (Anscombe 1958), is hopelessly abstract if uninformed by psychology. To illustrate this contention, assume for...

"Technological unemployment, meaning in life, purpose of business, and the future of stakeholders"
(2019)
(p.322) Many participants in recent public discussions about the coming workforce transformation focus only on the economic sustenance of displaced workers in our envisioned future society; there is a consensus on the need for a proper (re)distributive scheme to ensure societal stability. This will be some form of a basic income guarantee, usually defined as “an income paid by a political community to all its members on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement” (Van Parijs 2004, p. 8). In a similar manner, a “negative income tax” (people whose income is below some amount receive cash from the government...

"Meaningful Labour, Employee Ownership, and Workplace Democracy: A Comment on Weidel"
(2020)
(p.7) Nussbaum and Weidel are right that human beings need not just work but quality work. My point has been that the structure of work determines its quality. Formal structures of firm ownership and control pervasively affected what countless human beings can be and do, with ripple effects throughout families and societies. They condition the very possibility of the kind of cooperation and mutual recognition that constitutes meaningfulness in the sphere of labour. Absent an enquiry into these structures, we default to the neoliberal assumption that an economy dominated by autocratic firms owned by absentee investors is optimal and that development consists in finding the right...

"Work as Meaning: Individual and Organizational Benefits of Engaging in Meaningful Work"
(2009)
The earliest accounts of the meaning of work reach back to religious teachings about the purpose of human existence. This heritage provides a rich theoretical grounding for understanding the characteristics of meaningful work. The word ‘‘vocation’’ reflects this religious heritage, coming from the Latin word vocare, ‘‘to call.’’ For most of Western religious history, vocation referred to the belief that people were called by God to engage in religious vocation. This perspective maintained a hierarchical separation between the idealized, sacred work of monastic life and the more base, secular work of the common people. However, Augustine, Aquinas, and Benedict discussed...

"Moving Towards a Capability for Meaningful Labor"
(2018)
(p.74) Despite her careful explication of Marx’s sense of a truly human life grounded in species-being, Nussbaum has neglected to take up the element of Marx’s conception of species-being that runs as an undercurrent through all of the aspects discussed above: the activity of labor. For Marx, the fully human person is actively shaping her world and her consciousness by laboring and producing objects that satisfy her needs. Without the possibility of a productive outlet (and that productive outlet being of a quality that allows one to utilize practical reasoning), a person is living a life that is for all intents...

"Moving Towards a Capability for Meaningful Labor"
(2018)
(p.80) A central characteristic of meaning for meaningful labor is creation, as distinguished from passive consumption. This does not create an equivalency with actions in general,as there are actions that may not involve labor in any real sense (such as interpersonal relationships).9 The object generated by meaningful labor may be considered more ethereal than substantive (such as a song, or perhaps meeting a physical need of a care charge), but it is produced rather than consumed. Admittedly this capability as I have proposed it entails a broad categorization of what counts as “labor,” but this is an advantage, not a liability. The benefit lies in the fact...

"Moving Towards a Capability for Meaningful Labor"
(2018)
(p.86) In order to best combat the harms caused by a lack of meaningful labor, Nussbaum’s capabilities approach cannot focus solely on providing broad opportunities to seek employment. It must be amended to include a capability for meaningful labor, so that each individual person may engage with her environment and community in ways that help her to actively shape herself into a more fully human person.

"Meaningful work and workplace democracy"
(2012)
(p.10) I aim to show that to engage in the conceptual evaluation of meaningful work is not simply an exercise in remote abstraction, but directs us toward the pragmatic political possibility of ensuring that all work possesses the structure for meaningfulness. Furthermore, not only can the value of meaningfulness in the concept of meaningful work be described, but social institutions can be arranged according to normative principles conducive to enabling all persons to attribute meaning content to their lives because of the work they do. Following Kovacs (1986), I take work to be ‘a basic mode of being in the world’,...
