What is labor?

From the philosophical point of view, labor is the unity of subject, object and meaning.

Labor is the foundation of the survival and development of human society, which mainly refers to the process of producing material materials, and usually refers to human movements that can export labor or value to the outside world. Labor is the only means for people to survive and develop themselves. According to the traditional labor classification theory, labor can be divided into two categories: mental labor and manual labor.

Labor is a special form of human movement. In the commodity production system, labor is the expenditure and use of labor force. Marx gave us this definition: "The use of labor is labor itself. The buyer of labor consumes labor, that is, the seller of labor. "
