Book synopsis

This book examines the relationship between work and all-rounded human development. It discuses the concept of alienation and uses it to analyse the materialistic orientation towards work that the author observed in his country, Kenya. The negative attitude towards work evident among some Kenyans was traced to poverty, institutionalised prejudices and the structure of some work activities. The book argues that work is indispensable in human material as well as spiritual development. This claim is grounded on a holistic view of humans as material- spiritual beings who are perfectible. The distinctive human features of rationality, creativity, individuality, morality and sociality are not only utilised but also improved through work. As such, work can be regarded as a rational and conscious ingredient of actualising human personhood.
