Introduction

On the exploitation of the body. Exclusion, domination and exploitation: three strands of one cloth. Explore the exploitation of the body in work, its reciprocal relationship with labor, and the ethical implications of unequal burdens and exclusion. Proposes research on the philosophy of the body.

Abstract

This article examines the reciprocal relationship between the body and work, exploring how labour shapes the body and how the body, in turn, performs and signifies work. In contemporary society, the body has become a central object of both academic and social concern, often constrained by unattainable ideals that produce distress and exclusion. Revisiting a neglected intellectual tradition, the article proposes a programme of research grounded in the philosophy of the body and reflects on the ethical implications of the unequal distribution of labour’s burdens and rewards.
