replies: text: I think it's pretty clear this addresses a subject more suitable for an encyclopedia than a dictionary.  I mean, I know it doesn't include a reference to Lost, The Simpsons or Star Wars vs. Star Trek, but no article is perfect. Elijahmeeks 06:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "For the ancient Greeks, when techne appears as art, it is most often viewed negatively, whereas when used as a craft it is viewed positively: because a craft is the practical application of an art, rather than art as an end in itself."  Any chance for a citation of this part?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.58.99 (talk) 07:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation? 

message: It is quite amazing this whole article does not include a single reference to Heidegger, in whose philosophy the concept - or his particular interpretation of it - was quite central and influential not only in the following philosophy but also other spheres of life, including art. --82.131.109.201 (talk) 00:22, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have included some of Heidegger's ideas. Unfortunately, I do not have access to his works so I cannot contribute more. I have also created a new subsection that discusses the distinction between techne and technik according to theorists. Let me know if you have questions.

thread_title:  No Heidegger? Really? 

message: It's unclear what this article was trying to say, and unclear whether or not the quoted people were all talking about the same "thing" when using the word Techne. It seemed to take for granted that they were. I have kept the citation to the SEP article, which talks about some far more comprehensible aspects of the relation between techne and episteme in the context of ancient greek philosophy, which is what this article is about.  - car chasm (talk) 07:19, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: History of Ancient Greece

message: In Ancient Greek philosophy, techne (Greek: τέχνη, romanized: tékhnē, lit. 'art, skill, craft'; Ancient Greek: [tékʰnɛː], Modern Greek: [ˈtexni]) is a philosophical concept that refers to making or doing. Today the modern definition and use of "practical knowledge" is similar to the Ancient Greek definition of techne, whereas the latter can include various fields such as mathematics, geometry, medicine, shoemaking, rhetoric, philosophy, music, and astronomy. One of the definitions led by Aristotle, for example, is "a state involving true reason concerned with production".
What does "the latter" refer to here? I can't get it at all from context. Kimadactyl (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
