Abstract

From the right to laziness to the end of work: a critical reading of the culture of productive work

The Work is a human activity and effectiveness, conscious and compulsory, aimed at changing nature from its raw image to a useful material. It is a human phenomenon with distinction, added to the list of human actors such as language and mind, because it is linked to consciousness, intentional and will. which makes it a criterion for overcoming instinctive natural and building civilization. That's why it's supposed in principle work embodie the essence of man, develops his abilities and liberates him , but the reality of work (the conditions of his exercise) reveals a different face in which work appears to be a source of misery, misery and suffering that go after a human being, encouraging some thinkers to propose the right to laziness as an alternative to the right to work and Leisure culture rather than work culture. From behind this paper we aim to see some critical attitudes to the culture of productive work (right to laziness, laziness praise, end of work....) aims to transcend the productive concept of work and reactivate its social and ethical dimensions.
