NOTES ON THE CRAFTSMAN---------

the engineer, or any maker of material things, is not master of his own house; politics, standing above the physical labor, has to provide the guidance.

the thirst for knowl- edge, rather than for sex, leads human beings to harm themselves.

The fundamental fact of life is that nothing lasts—yet in politics we need something to orient us, to lift us above the confusions of the moment.

The pages of The Human Condition explore how language might guide us, as it were, to swim against the turbulent waters of time.

The good teacher imparts a satisfying explanation; the great teacher—as Arendt was—unsettles, bequeaths disquiet, invites argument.

this study is to explore what happens when hand and head, technique and science, art and craft are separated. I will show how the head then suffers; both understanding and expression are impaired.

Hephaestus, a modern historian writes that because craftwork ‘‘brought people out of the isolation, personified by the cave-dwelling Cyclopes, craft and community were, for the early Greeks, indissociable.’

This slice of ordinary citizens lived in between the relatively few, lei- sured aristocrats and the mass of slaves who did most of the work

Hand and head seperated by socity, between politics aristocrats / middleman (craftsman) / Slaves Workers

the aspiration for quality will drive a craftsman to improve, to get better rather than get by.

whether ‘‘aristotle @mit.edu’’ is a man or a woman; what matters is what ‘‘aristotle@mit .edu’’ contributes to the discussion

Mills writes: ‘‘The laborer with a sense of craft be- comes engaged in the work in and for itself; the satisfactions of working are their own reward; the details of daily labor are connected in the worker’s mind to the end product; the worker can control his or her own actions at work; skill develops within the work process; work is connected to the freedom to experiment; finally, family, community, and politics are measured by the standards of inner satisfaction, co- herence, and experiment in craft labor.’’

Engineers, like musicians, are intensely competitive creatures; the issue for both is what happens when a compensating cooperation vanishes: the work degrades.

PURIST Purism in software

Refers to the advocates in the free software movement who support the freedom of computer users to modify and share the software they use. The label is often related to the two opposing positions over the issue of the inclusion of proprietary software such as device drivers in otherwise wholly free software systems such as Linux. The moderate position placed in between purism and proprietism accepts the inclusion of some proprietary software. In the effort to prevent the compromisation of software freedom, the purists reject the inclusion of any proprietary software.

Artschool systems -> with workshop like wood / metal / print / digital /sound & Image Originated from bauhaus curiculum, artschool itself originate from plato (school of athens) Platos cave -> first take on media theory. Jean Budrillard -> unrealistic media transcens reality creating hyper reality Material preseving is deseptive / what we see could have more than we preseve.

Engaged art is critical art -> critique

What was the Bauhaus? The Bauhaus was an answer to the question: What kind of “eduction” do artists need in order to take their place in the machine age?

“You are very bitter about that unlucky nineteenth century,” said I. “Naturally,” said he, “since I know so much about it.”
