Applying the Ethics of Recognition: Work and the Social Bond

工作对大多数澳大利亚人来说很重要。它不仅具有工具价值，也不仅仅是为了钱：一份好的、令人满意的工作是充实生活的组成部分。我们的幸福感与工作中的事情是密不可分的。但这种幸福是如何维持的呢？我们对工作有什么道德期望，如果没有达到，会发生什么？本项目将通过侧重于因工作而提出的承认要求，为这些问题找到新的答案。我们认为，工作中的错误认知会严重损害一个人过上充实生活的能力。通过确定在工作中给予或拒绝承认的方式，该项目将为社区带来巨大利益。

Work matters to most Australians. It is not just of instrumental value, worth it just for the money: a good, fulfilling job is integral to a fulfilled life. Our sense of well-being is inseparably bound up with how things are going at work. But how is this well-being sustained? What moral expectations do we bring to work and what happens when they are not met? This project will develop new answers to these questions by focusing on claims for recognition arising out of work. Experiences of misrecognition at work, we propose, seriously damage one's capacity to lead a fulfilling life. By identifying ways in which recognition can be given or denied at work, the project will be of great community benefit.
