The essay deals with the category of work in Lukács. Lukács has been interested in work since his earliest works. The work where he directly addresses the problem of work is History and Class Consciousness. In this work he analyzes and describes the phenomenon of reification. Work is transformed into a thing and thus can be fragmented and manipulated to increase production. After reading Marx's economic-philosophical manuscripts, Lukács discovers the ontological character of the work. He defines an ontological conception of work, that expressed in the Ontology of Social Being. Work is the moment that distinguishes man from animal. Work is the model of every form of human practice, through the position of the purpose, the investigation of the natural means to achieve it and its realization.
