| Title | Jobs, Social Status and Self-Esteem |
| Summary | This thesis takes seriously people’s moral interest in having a secure sense of self-respect and in relating to others as social equals. Through three-interconnected papers, it discusses what these moral interests imply for the design of our social institutions, most importantly that of workplaces. In doing so, it draws on, and contributes to, three sub-fields of political theory, all of which have witnessed increasing interest in recent years: relational egalitarianism, the philosophy of work and the philosophy of self-esteem. The three papers are as follows: Paper 1: ‘Lawn for Professors Only’: A Moral Inquiry into Workplace Status Hierarchies Paper 2: Adequate Opportunity to Deserve Appraisal Respect Paper 3: The Tragedy of the Social Bases of Appraisal Self-Respect |
