The majority of adults spend much of their lives engaged in some form of remunerative activity which they and others conceptualise as 'work'. In spite of this, the topic of work remains under-theorised in political philosophy, something this project will begin to rectify. To do this I focus on three issues: i) how work has been understood, ii) what might be wrong with work, and iii) how we could solve problems with work. I begin by assessing the different ways in which work has been understood, then turn to its treatment within contemporary political philosophy - particularly by Rawlsians, republicans, and feminists. To understand what might make work as it currently exists generally miserable rather than only problematic in marginal cases, I reinterpret the concept of alienation and use it as a framework to diagnose problems with work. After assessing the emancipatory potential of the solutions offered by contemporary and historical critics of work, I suggest new ways to make work less miserable.Schedule of workSection 1: How has work been understood? (Oct 2017 - Oct 18)Aims: I am halfway through my first year of doctoral research- by the end of this year I will have completed an opening chapter analysing the different ways in which work has been understood within political philosophy.Section 2: What's wrong with work? (Oct 18 - Oct 19)Aims: second chapter involving critical assessment of discussions of work in contemporary political philosophy, third chapter reconstructing and reinterpreting alienation, fourth chapter analysing work in light of this reconstruction.Section 3: Solving work's problems (Oct 19 onwards)Aims: fifth chapter analysing and critically assessing existing strategies to reduce the harms of work, final chapter on alternative strategies to reduce or end problems with work.

大多数成年人的一生中大部分时间都从事某种形式的报酬活动，而他们和其他人将其概念化为“工作”。尽管如此，政治哲学中的工作主题仍然没有理论，但该项目将开始纠正。为此，我专注于三个问题：i）如何理解工作，ii）工作可能是什么问题，ii）我们如何解决工作问题。我首先要评估了解工作的不同方式，然后在当代政治哲学中转向其待遇，尤其是罗尔西亚人，共和党人和女权主义者。要了解什么可能使工作当前存在的工作通常是痛苦的，而不仅仅是在边际案件中有问题，我重新解释了疏远的概念，并将其用作诊断工作问题的框架。在评估了当代作品和历史批评家提供的解决方案的解放潜力之后，我提出了使工作不那么痛苦的新方法。工作的努力1：如何理解工作？ （2017年10月至10月18日）目的：我已经在博士研究的第一年中途进行 - 到今年年底，我将完成一章，分析在政治哲学中了解工作的不同方式。第2节：工作有什么问题？ （10月18日至10月19日）的目的：第二章涉及对当代政治哲学中的工作讨论的批判性评估，第三章重建和重新诠释疏远，第四章分析本章的工作。第3节：解决工作问题（10月19日）的目的（10月19日）目的：第五章分析和迫切评估策略的最终策略，以降低策略或最终的策略，以降低策略或最终的策略，以解决方案或最终的策略，以解决方案或危害的差异或最终的策略。
