Critique of work

Common card · No. 315995

Critique of work or critique of labour is the critique of, or wish to abolish, work as such, and to critique what the critics of work deem wage slavery. Critique of work can be existential, and focus on how labour can be and/or feel meaningless, and stands in the way for self-realisation. But the critique of work can also highlight how excessive work may cause harm to nature, the productivity of society, and/or society itself. The critique of work can also take on a more utilitarian character, in which work simply stands in the way for human happiness as well as health.
