This paper addresses the problem of human labor, relevant topic in the broad fi eld of philosophical refl ection, particularly in the Philosophical Anthropology and Social Philosophy, besides its relevance in the fi eld of ethics. We will analyze the theme from the thought of Alceu Amoroso Lima (1893-1983), the Tristan de Athayde. Considering human labor, from a Brazilian thinker, look at this question that is universal, from a more individualized approach. In the vast work of Alceu Amoroso Lima found a book where this refl ection is especially presented in a clear and unique. This is “The Problem of Labor”, published in 1947. In this essay, besides defi ning the work, the author presents what it means to be a social ideal, integrating manual labor, intellectual and spiritual. Refl ect on the consequences of this concept in man and society.
