Aimed at theologians concerned with how Christianity might engage in social criticism, as well those who are interested in the connection between Marxist and Christian traditions Explores debates about labor under capitalism and considers the relationship between divine and human work Through a thorough reading of Weber's Protestant Work Ethic , argues that the triumph of the "spirit of utility" is crucial to understanding modern notions of work Draws on the work of various twentieth century Catholic thinkers, including Josef Pieper, Jacques Maritain, Eric Gill, and David Jones Published in the new and prestigious Illuminations series. The End of Work explores the "problem of labor" from a theological perspective. Addressing both theologians concerned with how Christianity might engage in social criticism, as well as secular philosophers and political theorists, this book explores the connection between Marxist and Radical Christian Romantic traditions. Surveying twentieth-century theologies of work and contrasting various approaches to the topic, this book looks at the relationship between divine and human work, explores debates about labour under capitalism, and, through a thorough reading of Weber's Protestant Work Ethic , argues that the triumph of the "spirit of utility" is crucial to understanding modern notions of work. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century Romantic and Catholic writers are then drawn upon to resist this with an alternative theo-aesthetic vision of the redemption of work as ultimately liturgical. 410 0$aIlluminations--theory and religion. 606 $aCapitalism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aLabor$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aWork$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aCapitalism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aLabor$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aWork$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a261.85 700 $aHughes$b John$f1978-2014,$0131904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830176803321 996 $aThe end of work$92985559 997 $aUNINA
