In this paper, we examine the world of work exploring the possibility of dissolution of work and subjectivity in our synchronic society, as a plausible scape route to the problems of modern work. In this way, we begin considering modern work as problematic, and we argue that the problem of work is the problem of subjectivity; therefore, the dissolution of work and its problems, depends on the dissolution of subjectivity. To support this argument, we analyse reasons to discard some of the current proposals that critic world of work has developed. We also discard, ‘human’ sciences and the subjects they produce as privileged places to remedy the problematic of work. Following this line of reasoning, we will see the decline of individual alternatives such as fulfilment, holistic wellbeing, self-government and the exercise of freedom and resistance. Once these points are presented, we introduce as an admissible path towards the dissolution of subjectivity, the path towards emptiness. Nevertheless, we discuss the problems of this possibility in the light of the knowledge production in the academia, inasmuch as, the act of producing knowledge cannot break free from the inertia of assuring ‘truths’ that function as government devices. In this context, we invite to emptiness from other perspectives different from the theoretic. Also, we invite to stop the wheel of knowledge production on subjectivity, to avoid any conceivable conceptualization about other possibilities of existing across our own way of doing.
