Thus, we attempt to give not only a description of the theory of work provided by these three authors, but also to show how there is a conceptual relation between them, when Wojtyla reacts against the Marxist anthropology and Marx studies and reinterprets the Smithian concepts of work, virtue and division of labor.enDivision of labourAlienationMarxist philosophyRelation (database)SociologyAdam smithEpistemologyWork (physics)Social scienceNeoclassical economicsarticle
