Summary/Abstract: In these studies we will try to take a somewhat different approach, by way of the story of the philosophy of stories, towards a philosophy of (philosophical) work, which can be inferred from the section Spiritual animal kingdom and deceit, or ’the matter in hand’ itself, which can be found in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. Instead of following the well-established textual route concerning this matter, which often consists of interpreting this particular Hegel’s narrative as the one which describes the traits of intellectual or academic work, or the work in general, we would like at first to present the idea that every activity is fist of all language-based and simultaneously story-driven, as well as the notion that the result of every linguistic activity is always going to be some (contingent) story. These stories actualize themselves only by continuously referring to other stories, in the pure narrative multiplicity, which language manifests fundamentally. If there is any work or activity whatsoever, it is language and narrative-bound. We shall also determine how helpful this Hegel’s study and its speculative character could be, in an attempt to elucidate the story of the philosophy of stories as the philosophy of (philosophical) work.
