This book is a timely revival of the social and political importance of meaningful work, which explores a philosophy of work based upon the value of meaningfulness and argues for the institution of a new politics of meaningfulness.Meaningful Work and Workplace Democracy is a timely revival of the social and political importance of meaningful work. Drawing upon moral philosophy, political theory and sociology of work, this book creates a philosophy of work based upon the value of meaningfulness, and addresses contemporary concerns that work has become irretrievably degraded by evaluating how this understanding of meaningfulness remedies alienation, domination and distorted social recognition. In order to retrieve the emancipatory potential of all kind of work, this book argues for the institution of a new politics of meaningfulness through a system of workplace democracy which combines democratic authority with participatory practices, concluding that making work meaningful is both the legitimate and achievable object of political and social action.
