ABSTRACT

Migrants, no matter their nationality and cultural, ethnical or religious background, who can be integrated into our economic system, serve to illustrate what a good migration should be or even to support the claim about the success of a particular migration policy. This chapter presents a complete account of the history of the identification between work and being goes beyond the limits. J. G. Fichte opposes the state duty and the citizen right with a second duty and a second right: the state right to require everyone who wants to be recognized as a citizen to work and the citizen’s duty to work in order to be recognized as such. G. W. F. Hegel, like Fichte, proposes a positive interpretation of being as working. Hegel describes essential fear as “the beginning of wisdom”, since it helps individuals to comprehend what finitude is about, to know themselves as mortals and to understand what makes them equals.
