Description

It is a platitude that most people, as they say, 'work to live' rather than 'live to work.' And in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, work weeks have expanded and the divide between work time and personal time has significantly blurred due to innovations in such things as electronic communications.

Concerns over the value of work in our lives, as well as with the balance or use of time between work and leisure, confront most people in contemporary society.

Discussions over the values of time, leisure, and work are directly related to the time-honored question of what makes a life good. And this question is of particular interest to philosophers, especially ethicists.

In this volume, leading scholars address a range of value considerations related to peoples' thoughts and practices around time utilization, leisure, and work with masterful insight.

In addressing various practical issues, these scholars demonstrate the timeless relevance and practical import of Philosophy to human lived experience.
