In the world of work, ambition seems to be a virtue. "Winners" advance their careers by energetically complying with other people's expectations. The industrial system moulds men into functionaries whose detached professionalism is at the heart of both the material wealth and ethical poverty of western civilization. How can we live in this system and maintain moral integrity? The answer is simple: We need to learn to be philosophers, for philosophy is the craft of life.
