Socrates also compliments techne only when used in the context of episteme. Episteme times means knowing how to do something similar handcrafted. The knowledge of the craft, as it is called techne. Is more useful when the knowledge is applied in the practice, rather than apply theoretical or aesthetic. For the ancient Greek, when techne appears as art, is more often is sees negatively, while when is used as a trade that is a made positive because is a boat of it application practice of an art, rather than the art as an end in itself same.
