The Philosophy of Living Well
Live to Work or Work to Live?
“Workists” are people who find most of their life’s meaning through their work. Critics have bemoaned the fact that workism is on the rise, encouraging us instead to find meaning in family relationships, or in helping to make the world a better place. Associate Professor Matthew Hammerton, a philosopher from the Singapore Management University, defends workism.
