Applying the Ethics of Recognition: Work and the Social Bond

对大多数澳大利亚人来说，工作很重要。它不仅具有工具价值，它的价值仅仅是为了钱：一份好的、充实的工作是充实的生活不可或缺的一部分。我们的幸福感与事情的进展密不可分。但这种幸福感是如何维持的呢？我们在工作中带来了什么道德期望，当它们得不到满足时会发生什么？该项目将通过侧重于因工作而提出的获得承认的索赔，为这些问题提供新的答案。我们认为，在工作中被误解的经历严重损害了一个人过上充实生活的能力。通过确定在工作中可以给予或拒绝认可的方式，该项目将为社区带来巨大的利益。

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.
