Work and social alienation

In this paper, I offer an account of social alienation, a genre of alienation engendered by contemporary work that has gone largely overlooked in the ethics of labor. Social alienation consists in a corruption of workers’ relations to their social life and the people that make it up. When one is socially alienated, one’s sociality and close relations exist as a mere afterthought or break from work, while labor is the central activity of one’s life. While one might think that existing solutions to alienated labor would resolve this social alienation, I suggest that such solutions at best leave the problem intact and may in fact contribute to it by giving labor the place of priority in workers’ lives. Resolving social alienation, I suggest, requires rethinking the amount of time we commit to work, the rigidity of the work schedule, and most crucially, the value that we attribute to work as the primary source of purpose in our lives.

工作与社会疏离

在这篇论文中,我对社会异化进行了说明,这是一种由当代工作产生的异化类型,在劳动伦理学中被很大程度上忽视了。社会异化在于工人与其社会生活和构成社会生活的人的关系的腐败。当一个人被社会异化时,一个人的社会性和亲密关系只是作为事后的想法或脱离工作而存在,而劳动是一个人生活的中心活动。虽然人们可能认为现有的异化劳动解决方案可以解决这种社会异化,但我认为这样的解决方案充其量不会影响问题,实际上可能会通过让劳动在工人生活中处于优先地位而有助于解决这个问题。我建议,解决社会疏离需要重新考虑我们投入工作的时间,工作日程的僵化,
