Toward Meaningful Work
Manage episode 425593279 series 3575546
At long last, the finale to my (5 part) 4 part series on Labor-Time, Turning Toward Death, and Meaningful Work. This week I return to Bataille and the Accursed Share, try to get to what Meaningful Work might be, and why it should be an ethical project. I also discuss Chairs. Grab a seat.
