In times of the 'big quit,' questions about workplace relations have come to the fore of public discussions again -- and philosophers have turned to them as well. This volume brings together an interesting range of papers on philosophical dimensions of work, discussing both moral and institutional demands, from angles such as autonomy, reason-giving, or democracy. They are worth reading not only for where they agree but also for where they disagree, showing what normative values are at stake in the organization of work life.
