For, in reality, whatever is living is working. Concerning human life, not only head and hands but also all the other members and organs of the body work to transform the matter received from outside. The mouth works up the matter for the stomach, which, on its part, digests it for the blood, and so on. That means that every organ of the human body and every member of human society is producing, on behalf of the whole. Every man is working while apparently only consuming or enjoying, and he enjoys his life, while apparently working or producing for the whole. But the harmony between work and enjoyment takes place only in organic or organized life, not in a life that lacks organization.   Excerpted from Moses Hess et la Gauche Hegelienne; in Vorwaerts, Dec. 12, 1844.
