In this essay I focused my attention on the contemporary widespread fatalistic discourses on the ‘end of work’ and their main vision of ‘leisure society without work’, and critically examined its thesis of the ‘liberation from work’, based on another thesis of the ‘liberation within work’ contrasted with the former. My simple and consistent standpoint is that, however less we would work in the future in virtue of highly developed technologies, this would not make our work meaningless. In general, work as a human’s job has been playing the role of the provider of such values as the ‘personal livelihood’, the ‘social recognition’ and the ‘ethical meaningfulness’ in his or her life. But the vision of ‘leisure society without work’ seems to threaten to nullify those three semantic factors of human work. Therefore, we should carefully ask ourselves whether that vision is a promise or a threat to us, or, in other words, whether or not we could truly wish we would live in that society. Considering these points, I argued that we should not use the possibility of the shortening of working hours opened up by modern automation technologies as the opportunity of abolishing all human work, but as the one of humanizing it, and this option is a better way to answer to human dignity. In addition, I emphasized that its best institutional embodiment is the work-sharing program through the shortening of working hours, and its essence does not lie in the ‘reckless escape from work to leisure’, but in the ‘human redesign of both work and leisure and their balanced time distribution’.
