Topic :
Philosophy of Work. Moderator Dr. Kavi Mahesh, Senthil Nathan
In the following session, we'll be discussing about the philosophy of work. We'll talk about the reasons why the current work culture, as it exists - how people willingly overwork even when technology progresses, the competitive atmosphere it fosters, the need for a work life balance and so forth - could have come into being.
Mahesh will read from 'In praise of Idleness' where Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher, points out the fallacies we hold in the way we feel towards work. Senthil will read from 'Entropy' by Jeremy Rifkin, a futurist, who traces the roots of the current work culture from thinkers and philosophers from the previous centuries like Bacon, Descartes, and others.
The discussion will hopefully put our current view towards work in perspective. This perspective should help us retain the good things which it was meant to give us and stop the practices which are an inadvertent byproduct that do nothing but rob us of our happiness.
All
are welcome. Please bring your thoughts and readings on the topic to share
with the group.
