Description: Echoing philosophers such as Josef Pieper, this explains how the modern world has inverted the rational order of human affairs, devaluing the activities of leisure and placing an exaggerated emphasis on utilitarian concerns. It puts these pursuits in perspective by asking, what do we do when everything we have to do is done?
