A lot of it revolves around work. The philosopher Andreas Oberprantacher tried to find out why this is so and how ‘life’ can come back to the fore during the AK event series ‘Knowledge for Life’.
Over the past centuries, work has become an increasingly important part of our lives. Nowadays, almost everything revolves around work. No wonder: the job usually keeps us busy 40 hours a week for more than half our lives. Our society identifies with work, work creates identity, you define yourself through your work. You could even say: work is life. But given the precarious working conditions, mini-jobs, performance pressure, burnouts and so-called bullshit jobs, more and more people are wondering: does this still make sense? The Innsbruck philosopher and university professor Andreas Oberprantacher critically questions the excessive importance of paid work and offers possible explanations as to why this is the case.
