"The Return of Work in Critical Theory presents a bold new account of the human significance
of work and the human costs of contemporary forms of work organization. A collaboration
among experts in philosophy, social theory, and clinical psychology, it brings together
empirical research with incisive analysis of the political stakes of contemporary
work. The Return of Work in Critical Theory begins by looking in detail at the ways
in which work today fails to meet our expectations. It then sketches a phenomenological
description of work and examines the normative premises that underlie the experience
of work. Finally, it puts forward a novel conception of work that can renew critical
theory's engagement with work and point toward possibilities for transformation. Inspired
by Max Horkheimer's vision of critical theory as empirically informed reflection on
the sources of social suffering with emancipatory intent, The Return of Work in Critical
Theory is a lucid diagnosis of the malaise and pathologies of contemporary work that
proposes powerful remedies."
