Work, human activity

Abstract

The purpose is to understand the meanings given to the terms “work” and “activity” in the ergologic approach, identifying specificities and mutual interpellations evidenced in several passages in the writings of Yves Schwartz. These terms, which are not completely overlie because every job has its socio-economic reasons and political factors in its genesis, also cannot, in ergology, be understood separately, since it is always necessary to understand that experience makes human activity in the development of work focus.
