I don't think it is wise to "define" energy in terms of work.
Energy is the primary and fundamental quantity. Work is a
secondary and derived quantity. Work should be defined in
terms of energy, not the other way around.
The concept of "energy" is an _invention_ (by Young) as is
the concept of "work". How can either be considered
"fundamental" and the other not?
