The craftsman

by Richard Sennett

This study explores the history and philosophy of craftsmanship, examining the human desire to perform work well. It analyses the separation of technique from expression and suggests that the integration of practice and theory leads to more fulfilling work.

brief_description
"The craftsman shows how history has drawn fault-lines between craftsman and artist, maker and user, technique and expression, practice and theory, and that individuals' pride in their work, as well as modern society in general, suffers from these historical divisions." --book jacket
