The work ethic has shaped our character, given purpose to our lives, and driven civilization forward. Now, as technology replaces human labour, we are faced with a profound dilemma; this crisis will leave us in a deep civilizational malaise, profoundly bored, ethically impoverished and without direction. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Leisure Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e, David Edward Tabachnick challenges the moral authority of work ethic and puts forth a long forgotten ancient alternative to work that can help reform and redirect our efforts toward building lives of ethical leisure. Through a historical and philosophical exploration of work, laziness, technological unemployment, and leisure, Tabachnick seeks to free our thinking and action from the shackles of the obsolete work ethic. \u003cbr\u003eFar from a curse,\u003cem\u003e The Leisure Ethic\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that the end of work can be a turning point that frees us from drudgery and opens the door to reimagining human purpose beyond productivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57369390481782,"sku":"9781049800691","price":27.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_40575053_92da155f-d18c-4916-9c48-57d1d30650f2.jpg?v=1775098883","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781049800691-leisure-ethic","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
