PEACE AND WORK
.....
I wish to observe that the term “trabajo”, in opposition to “work”, is related to the torture of slaves, to slave work, the suffering and penalty, the ailment of which the free citizen is exempt (who may dedicate himself to contemplation and politics, in the Antique World). The noun “trabajo” is essentially coloured with the idea of pity, chastisement and disagreement. It does not happen the same with the word “work”(12). It is noteworthy the research of Max Weber regarding the sense of work in the northern capitalism (13). One may comprehend in the word “work” not only the idea of contract, retribution, but also the ones of productivity and abundance which we find in the image of Eirene. Thus, peace and work intertwine themselves.
Because of what has been said, this essay starts from the experience that the image of Eirene and her son allows. It is a philosophical research about peace and work, in an expositive and historical mode. It will conclude with a reference to utopia, since the possibility of peace demands an effective material and ethical task of accretable, perfectible, critical exigence.
