| Sumario: | Homo Faber: Continuity and Ruptures. -- Abstract: The author undertakes a reflection on the evolution of human work and its relationship with the man who works. This approach rules out ab initio the hypothesis of the end of work, which is considered absurd, since it would imply the end of humanity creating new objects and symbols. From an objective perspective, the homo faber adapts his living environment to his needs, develops his ecumenus and makes the earth not an object of appropriation but the vital environment on which man depends. Work is truly human insofar as it gives man the possibility of putting a part of what he is into what he does; from this perspective, one must avoid dehumanizing work by denying the thinking character of the worker (which implies assimilating the worker to animals or machines). Fictions such as abstract or commoditized work and the notion of human capital that was formulated by Stalin in 1935, long before Gary Becker popularized the idea in 1964, are considered. The latter is held to constitute a dehumanized notion of human labor, only tempered by trade union rights and social democracy in the professional sphere, as well as by democracy in the public sphere. The challenges that this valuable conception of work must face are made explicit. Ecological, due to the need to avoid overexploitation of natural resources; technological, since this impact is due to the technical mutations produced since the first industrial revolution and institutional one, due to the conflict of legal logics between the rules of international trade and finance and the principles and rules of social justice. |
