Work is more than a job. It is a place where we meet other people, make friends, perhaps marry. For many people it is a place where they acquire the status that they carry outside into the general society — a Rover on the drive rather than a Cortina. Others will establish a status recognised by their workmates, as a person of skill or the man who is ...

Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology, 1994
Because work is of central significance in our lives, it is important to ask theologically about its meaning. At its crassest, the Protestant work ethic suggests that to do work well and to amass wealth are religious duties. In reflecting on the meaning of work, one does well to take the sixteenth-century Reformers as a point of departure. Here work is

Work motivation was measured by peer ratings, using a series of behaviorally anchored rating scales, and the meaning of work was measured by a set of semantic differential scales; the sample consisted of newly graduated engineers.

Meaning Naturalism, Meaning Irrealism, and the Work of Language
Synthese, 2007I defend the hypothesis that organisms that produce and recognize meaningful utterances tend to use simpler procedures, and should use the simplest procedures, to produce and recognize those utterances. This should be a basic principle of any naturalist theory of meaning, which must begin with the recognition that the production and understanding of ...
