Details: The concept of work has long been at the core of critical theory and political philosophy, reflecting the evolving relationship between labor, power, and social justice and the good human life. Recent transformations in the organization and experience of work – from the rise of precarious labor and the gig economy to the emergence of digital capitalism and AI-driven automation – have reignited philosophical debates about the nature and meaning of work. Critical theorists and normative political philosophers alike have begun to reassess foundational questions about alienation, autonomy, and justice in the context of a rapidly changing world of work.

The publication of Axel Honneth’s The Working Sovereign: Labour and Democratic Citizenship (2023) and Jean-Philippe Deranty’s The Case for Work have contributed significantly to the ongoing discussion about the normative role of work. Other recent contributions, such as Rahel Jaeggi’s Pathologies of Work, Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance, and feminist discussions on care work and reproductive labor, offer rich insights into the multifaceted role of work in contemporary society.

This issue of Philosophy and Public Issues aims to capture and explore these ongoing debates by inviting original papers that engage critically and normatively with the concept of work. We encourage submissions that address the philosophical foundations and normative implications of current transformations in work.
