Description

Why do people work hard, and take pride in what they do? This book is a philosophically-minded enquiry into practical activity of many different kinds past and present, exploring the true meaning of skill in the 'skills society'. Sennett argues that there is a craftsman in every human being, which can be motivating and inspiring, but also lead to obsession and frustration. The book delves into the historical divisions between craftsman and artist, maker and user, technique and expression, and offers alternative ways for individuals to utilize their talents. Sorry!
